Synopsis
Homiletics: Or, The Theory Of Preaching by Alexandre Rodolphe Vinet. This 19th?century English-language treatise analyzes sacred eloquence and the theory of preaching, offering a rigorous manual on how Scripture shapes style and how to balance truth, imagery, and practical effect in pulpit discourse. It treats style as an instrument for religious and moral persuasion, not mere ornament, and argues that the Bible should be the source and standard for preaching language while cautioning against forced allegory. The work identifies two central axes of style—Strength (force, life) and Beauty (harmony, proportion)—and details how color (imagery), movement, and rhetorical devices should serve the subject and moral aim. It advocates a natural, disciplined approach to invention (content) and disposition (structure), emphasizes direct address, unction, and authority grounded in truth, and offers practical guidelines for sermons, including how to use or avoid texts. An Appendix by M. Vinet (1837 Lausanne) illustrates these principles in a concrete, contemporary example. The book is intended for theologians, preachers, and students of rhetoric, surveying classical and Christian models to harmonize truth and eloquence in preaching.
