Introduction to the Homily, An by Waznak, Robert P - 1998

This book leads to a practical understanding of what the homily is meant to be and what it is supposed to do. The author relies on recent homiletic scholarship, authoritative Church documents, plus the lived experience of preachers and people.

"Father Robert Waznak's An Introduction to the Homily is far more than another set of basics; it is a treasure-trove, in the tradition of Buttrick and Brueggemann, Craddock and Hilkert. Not only does he use to splendid effect an amazing amount of pertinent homiletic literature, official and other; he has precious insights of his own...Tiro and veteran, get hold of it. Satisfaction guaranteed." --Father Walter J. Burghardt, S.J.
