PhD in Practical Theology in Homiletics

Homiletics at BUSTH is a contextual, theological discipline. Homiletics is a practical-theological study of preaching in that it is self-consciously contextual and interdisciplinary in nature. Homiletics is also more broadly theological in the sense that it draws on the best of constructive theology, Biblical studies, and liturgical studies to do its work. Uncommon strengths in all these critical theological resources make BU a great place to do research into preaching s practice, theories, and diverse contexts. They are what make the homiletics concentration at BU one of the leading programs in North America for pursuing a Ph.D. in the field, and at a world class research university.
