| An ordained pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, he previously taught homiletics and liturgics at the University of Notre Dame. |
| A sadly neglected topic in homiletics today concerns the ethics of preaching. |
| In addition to serving as rector of the seminary, he has continued to teach homiletics. |
| While in Carlow he wrote on theology and scripture, literature and homiletics, local history and ecumenism. |
| Among Baptist preachers, the most formative figure in the area of homiletics was John Broadus. |
| This focus places Mathews within a growing trend in the field of homiletics toward considering listeners as a vital part of the preaching event. |
