Baylor’s Preaching Archives was developed in 2020 by Dr. Scott M. Gibson to support George W. Truett Theological Seminary’s Ph.D. Preaching students as well as homiletic researchers across the globe.

The collection includes papers, publications, and sermons of leading homiliticians in North America. Most of the papers are physical collections and can be accessed by appointment in Moody Library (RareCollections@baylor.edu). Some of the sermons are available online in these digital collections. These collections continue to grow as more experts in the art of preaching and writing sermons are added.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Preaching is offered through the Baylor University Graduate School and boasts a robust doctoral program for students who seek to contribute to the field of homiletics. The Baylor program offers a rich study of preaching in relation to exegesis, history, theology, ecclesiology, homiletical structure and practice, and teaching.

Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary is an orthodox, evangelical school in the historic Baptist tradition embedded into a major research university.

Dr. Scott M. Gibson holds the David E. Garland Endowed Chair in Preaching and serves as the Director of the Doctor of Philosophy in Preaching program at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary of Baylor University.
