=== Branch of pastoral theology ===
The ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' defines homiletics as "that branch of rhetoric that treats of the composition and delivery of sermons or homilies".<ref name=CE>{{Catholic Encyclopedia|wstitle=Homiletics |volume=7 |first=Patrick A. |last=Beecher |inline=1}}</ref> This definition was influential in the 19th century among thinkers like [[John Broadus]] and [[Karl Barth]]. Karl resisted this definition of the term
The first form of preaching was largely the [[homily]].<ref name=CE/>
Line 21:
[[Jesus]] preached and commissioned his [[Apostles in the New Testament|apostles]] to do so. His preaching included two forms of the sermon, the missionary and the ministerial. Missionary sermons are given to outsiders and correspond the Catholic ''[[magisterium]].'' Ministerial sermons are given to those already part of the movement, corresponding to the Catholic ''[[ministerium]]''. For example, Jesus' [[Sermon on the Mount]] is a missionary sermon. By contrast, his discourse after the [[Last Supper]] ({{bibleverse||John|14-16|KJV|}}) is ministerial.<ref name=CE/>
It cannot be said that Jesus' preaching took any definite, rounded form, in the sense of a modern sermon. His aim was to sow the seed of the word, which he scattered abroad, like the sower in the [[Parable of the sower|parable]]. His commission to his Apostles included both missionary and ministerial sermoning. For examples of missionary sermoning, see {{bibleverse||Matthew|28:19|KJV|}}, {{bibleverse||Mark|16:15|KJV|}}, {{bibleverse||Mark|3:14|KJV|}}, {{bibleverse||Luke|9:2|KJV|}}
