Feasting on the Word— Year A, Volume 1: Advent through Transfiguration

Feasting on the Word #A1

by David Lyon Bartlett, Barbara Brown Taylor

With this new lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox offers the most extensive resource for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes of the series will cover all the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with movable occasions, such as Christmas Day, Epiphany, Holy Week, and All Saints' Day.

For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays--one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text. This gives preachers sixteen different approaches to the proclamation of the Word on any given occasion.

The editors and contributors to this series are world-class scholars, pastors, and writers representing a variety of denominations and traditions. And while the twelve volumes of the series will follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume will contain an index of biblical passages so that non-lectionary preachers, as well as teachers and students, may make use of its contents.

Reviews

[Naomi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I deeply appreciate this series, for the different perspectives each week on each part of the revised common lectionary texts. Among other things, the series taught me I'm more of a pastoral preacher than I knew, since that and the homiletical sections were the ones that routinely spoke to me. But I learned much from each and every section and the wisdom collected here.
