Abstract
  • The author proposed that the question of beautiful language be considered a primary consideration in sermon composition. The thesis was primarily an engagement with literature and ideas, with a small survey component. The author developed a practical theology of beauty, primarily referencing the work of David Bentley Hart, and an approach to a definition of beauty, referencing Immanuel Kant's Third Critique. He offered five descriptors for beauty: Fitness, Durability, Motion, Force, and Metaphor. With this established, he offered a poetics of homiletics, considering beauty in language through the work of poetry, finally applied to preaching composition.
