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.
