GoooPASTURE Printed i11 tl,e United Stales DEDICATION To that host of students whom Brother Boles affection­ ately spoke of as "My Boys," this volume is respectfull y inscribed. PREFACE It has now been more than three years since the lamented H. Leo Boles, like David, "fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers." During these intervening years, there has been a growing demand for the publication of a volume of his Sermon Outlines. This volume is, at least, a partial answer to the demand. The Outlines appear here as Brother Boles left them, ex­ cept where it was necessary to add something in order to make a contracted statement clear. This book is a selection of Outlin ~s most frequently used by Brother Boles. It is the hope of the Editor that this book may give a new stimulus to preaching the gospel plainly , humbly and with ­ out fear or favor . B. C. GOODPASTURE August I l, 1949.

  • HIPPOLYTUS and the 6000-YEAR CHRONOLOGY Notwithstanding
    CHAPTER FIVE HIPPOLYTUS AND THE 6000-YEAR CHRONOLOGY Notwithstanding being known today as one of the most important theologians of the 3rd-century Christian Church in the West, Hip- polytus ’ life and writings are not as well known as we might initially think. Most scholars explain this by referring to Hippolytus ’ schismatic activities, adding the fact that he wrote in Greek instead of Latin. It is commonly accepted that Hippolytus lived between c.170 A.D. and 236 A.D. and that he held a solid reputation among the Roman presbyters. However, little is known regarding his early life, and what we know about his later career is still under dispute. Even Eusebius is not positive about which church he led.1 Historical sources also do not allow us to confirm whether he was a disciple of Irenaeus (he probably was not), although it is commonly accepted that he attended one of Origen ’s sermons during his stay in Rome. We also know that the his- torical sources refer to him both as a bishop and as a presbyter, which reflects in a certain way that his importance was different in the West than it was in the East.2 In fact, Hippolytus appears to have been only a presbyter; however, in the Orient it was common to speak of him as a bishop. Later, Hippolytus , a man some said to be very strict in terms of orthodoxy, was convinced that Pope Callistus was a heretic, and therefore regarded Callistus as an antipope. During that period, he attacked not only Callistus but also his successors, namely, Urban and Pontianus .

  • Fr Cantalamessa Gives First Advent Reflection to Pope and Roman Curia
    Fr Cantalamessa gives first Advent reflection to Pope and Roman Curia The Preacher of the Papal Household, Fr Raniero Cantalamessa, gives his first Advent reflection at the Redemptoris Mater Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Below is the full text of his sermon. P. Raniero Cantalamessa ofmcap BLESSED IS SHE WHO BELIEVED!” Mary in the Annunciation First Advent Sermon 2019 Every year the liturgy leads us to Christmas with three guides: Isaiah, John the Baptist and Mary, the prophet, the precursor, the mother. The first announced the Messiah from afar, the second showed him present in the world, the third bore him in her womb. This Advent I have thought to entrust ourselves entirely to the Mother of Jesus. No one, better than she can prepare us to celebrate the birth of our Redeemer. She didn’t celebrate Advent, she lived it in her flesh. Like every mother bearing a child she knows what it means be waiting for somebody and can help us in approaching Christmas with an expectant faith. We shall contemplate the Mother of God in the three moments in which Scripture presents her at the center of the events: the Annunciation, the Visitation and Christmas. 1. “Behold, / am the handmaid of the Lord” We start with the Annunciation. When Mary went to visit Elizabeth she welcomed Mary with great joy and praised her for her faith saying, “Blessed is she who believed there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken her from the Lord” (Lk 1:45). The wonderful thing that took place in Nazareth after the angel’s greeting was that Mary “believed,” and thus she became the “mother of the Lord.” There is no doubt that the word “believed” refers to Mary’s answer to the angel: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word (Lk 1:38).

  • Preacher Title III, Canon 4, Sec.5
    Preacher Title III, Canon 4, Sec.5 A Preacher is a lay person authorized to preach. Persons so authorized shall only preach in congregations under the direction of the Member of Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Discernment Candidates considering the ministry of Preacher should confer with sponsoring clergy, spiritual directors, or other vocational guides to discuss honestly how to test a call, as well as the practicalities of the preaching ministry. During the period of discernment, candidates should familiarize themselves with various theologies and theories of preaching, so that their models of preaching are not limited by the examples they have observed in their immediate context. Some resources to aid in discernment are listed at the end of this document. It is not necessary to purchase and read all the resources on this extensive list in order to become licensed. Start with the basics and use the resource list for your continuing education and skill building in this ministry. Discernment Questions for those discerning a call to this ministry: • Have I imagined myself preaching? How did that feel? • Have I found I wanted to investigate the meaning of the scriptures more deeply than I have in the past? • Am I curious about Christian theology or the history of the Church? • Have I asked God whether God might be calling me to this ministry? • Have friends, clergy, or fellow-parishioners suggested I think about a preaching ministry? • Do I feel relatively comfortable speaking

  • Abstract Preacher-As-Witness
    ABSTRACT PREACHER-AS-WITNESS: THE HOMILETICAL APPROACH OF E. STANLEY JONES by Luke Molberg Pederson Witness is a key metaphor that addresses postmodern yearning for authenticity and integrity in preaching in the current cultural milieu of the United States and Canada. The speaking and writing of twentieth-century world missionary and evangelist E. Stanley Jones provided a bountiful source of autobiographical material through which to explore Jones’ self- understanding as preacher-as-witness. The purpose of the study was to describe Jones’ homiletical self-understanding as witness to Jesus Christ, analyze the content of his speaking and writing as it pertains to preaching, and outline his sermonic approach. Jones’ underlying homiletical worldview was probed in its natural context through a grounded theory process of simultaneous data collection, analysis, and synthesis. All of Jones’ twenty-seven published books were scrutinized as well as ten selected sermons in print and in audio and videotape formats spanning sixty years of Jones’ preaching ministry. Samples of my own preaching were appended as examples of the integration of Jones’ approach with postmodern praxis. The focus of the study was not on others’ assessment of Jones, or critical evaluation of his preaching, but on his self- understanding as witness to Jesus Christ as a means to inform the present opportunity for preaching in a postmodern context. The study clarified boundaries between the metaphors of testimony, confession, and witness, offered an extension of Thomas G. Long’s work on the witness of preaching as an underappreciated metaphor for preaching, and presented witness as a theoretical bridge between speaker-driven and audience-driven polarities in preaching.

  • PRIEST” in the PRAYER BOOK Church Association Tract 232
    THE USE OF THE TERM “PRIEST” IN THE PRAYER BOOK Church Association Tract 232 IT is sometimes carelessly alleged that the essential meaning of the word “priest” is “one who offers sacrifice.” That, however, is contrary to fact. Any good dictionary taken at random will dissipate this fable. The idea of sacrifice was not involved in the etymology of the word, and the later association of “priest “ with sacrifice sprang out of the accidental union in the same person of two separate offices. It is matter for regret that the translators of the Old Testament used the word “priest,” to render the Hebrew “cohen.” “The original meaning of the word ‘cohen,’ (says Canon R. B. Girdlestone in his excellent Synonyms of the Old Testament, page 383) is lost in obscurity. In 1 Kings iv.-5 the Authorised version renders it ‘principal officer’ (compare the marginal rendering of verse 2); in 2 Sam. viii.-18, and xx.-26 it has been rendered ‘chief ruler’ (margin, ‘princes’). David’s own sons were thus designated, but it seems impossible now to decide what duties were involved under this name. In Job xii.-19 it is rendered ‘princes.’ The French and other nations which have translated the word ‘Sacrificer,’ have made a mistake, because it is not the business of the priest to sacrifice. The people are the sacrificers, i.e. slayers of the victim; whilst the priests, according to the Levitical system, sprinkled the blood of atonement on the altar, and turned the pieces into fragrant smoke; and this they did as the representatives of the mercy of God.
