Evangelization Homily Hints: A Resource for Preachers [Paperback]

Richard W. Chilson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2000

Evangelization Homily Hints is a practical, pertinent book that will be a handy addition to every preacher's library. It contains a series of brief homily reflections focusing on the theme of evangelization, particularly on the personal and parish level. These are arranged for all three cycles of the liturgical season. It is especially relevant now, with the Church's increasing emphasis on evangelization, which it has embraced wholeheartedly.

Chilson is explicit about what his book looks to accomplish: "This book does not provide evangelization homilies for the lectionary. Rather it offers suggestions to teach and encourage reading the scriptures with an eye to their evangelical scope. Often it simply asks questions the scriptures raise when read from an evangelistic outlook. It provides ideas and ways you can begin transforming your parish into an evangelizing community."

Although there are other books of brief homilies based on the lectionary, this is the first to focus entirely on the theme of evangelization. As such, it will be and essential tool for homilists and evangelization committees. It will also stimulate ideas in small discussion groups focusing on evangelization.
