Why do some homilies resonate deeply while others-though faithful and carefully prepared-fail to move listeners? The answer often lies not in content alone, but in how the Word is structured and received.

The Architecture of the Homily presents an integrated vision of preaching that aligns theological clarity with the lived experience of the listener. Drawing from Scripture, the Church's preaching tradition, cognitive psychology, and contemporary neuroscience, Deacon Greg Moran explores how attention is engaged, meaning is constructed, the heart is moved, and response becomes possible.

At the center of the book is the ETAIS framework-Engage, Truth, Application, Inspiration, and Send-together with the Arc of the Homily, the interior movement, through which, listeners progress from curiosity and recognition to illumination, hope, and response.

Rather than offering isolated techniques, this book provides preachers, deacons, priests, seminarians, and homiletics instructors with a pastoral and theological framework for proclaiming the Word so that it may be clearly heard, deeply received, and faithfully lived.
