Home Helpful Links for Preachers Executive Board Meetings

Members of CATH have found the following websites to be helpful for teachers of homiletics as well as for preachers:

Sr. Joan Delaplane Preaching

Academy of Homiletics

This is the home page of the Academy of Homiletics, a North American Society of Scholars and Teachers of Preaching

Athenaeum of Ohio

This website offers sample homilies for each Sunday and some feast days

Bible Commentary Page

This library is designed to facilitate the study of Scripture. There are links for the study of theology on the internet, but a particular position is not the goal. Biblical commentaries are one of the greatest expenses and needs of any pastor or theologian so this is their main focus.

Duke Divinity School

A selective, annotated guide to a wide variety of electronic resources of interest to those who are teaching or studying religion and theology at the undergraduate or graduate level. The principle of organization is the course area heading. Under these headings materials are divided into types: syllabi, electronic texts, electronic journals, web sites, bibliographies, listserv discussion groups, and (for some pages) liturgical resources.

Food4thought.tv
Includes video of homilies and sermons delivered at Boston College, Fordham, Duke, St. Joseph's University, and Loyola College of Baltimore, among others.

The Georgetown Center for Liturgy
