4.0 out of 5 stars Expertise of an Accomplished Preacher., September 23, 2001
By 
Xavier Thelakkatt (Dayton, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Preaching: The Art and the Craft (Paperback)
Walter Burghardt, an accomplished homilist with 45 years of priestly experience and an authority in the art of preaching, shares his experience and expertise with the other preachers who look forward to improving their skills in this direction. He prescribes the use of imagination and careful preparation with due attention to Scripture and the day-to-day experience, for a good Sunday homily in the Catholic tradition. No doubt, this book is a mine of useful information and valuable insights. All the same, I was a little disappointed since I read here more about the content of the preaching rather than the art itself. This book should be a tremendous help to many who are new to the vocation of preaching.
