[edit] Non-Catholic homiletics?

Greetings. This article obviously focuses on the Catholic approach. There are other approaches, such as Jewish homiletics. Probably parts of this article should be merged with Sermon. And maybe this article should be set up as a spin-out from Sermon, i.e., in summary style. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HG (talk • contribs) 05:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The article is written like an apology for homiletics. In WikiPedia the texts shouldn't be written like this, since it would be like an advertisement, and those are not accepted on WP either. I believe the claims in the text are correct, but the article should be rewritten to be WP:NPOV, so it should pinpoint who explains/uses homiletics this way, other interpretations/uses, problems (if existing), opposing views (if existing). The text is also christocentric, while in real life there are moslems, judaists, hinduists, buddhists and more in this world. If possible, this should be reflected.
