Feasting on the Word #A3
Feasting on the Word— Year A, Volume 3: Pentecost and Season after Pentecost 1
With this lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox offers the most extensive resource for preaching on the market today. Now complete, the twelve volumes of the series 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 follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume contains an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers, as well as teachers and students, may make use of its contents.

OK, this is not a book you "finish," but I'm marking it as Read. I'll return to it throughout this church season. Great not just for preachers but for anyone who wants a little more background on the biblical readings for the week, for churches following the Revised Common Lectionary. Short, not highly technical, easy-to-read commentaries on each of the four Sunday readings thoroughout the season.

Another excellent preaching commentary series following the lectionary readings. Since it offers four separate perspectives on each passage, and each of them offers multiple ways of reading each passage, these commentaries can be useful over a lifetime of preaching.

Necessary, for busy preachers.

This series is wonderful for those who are preaching/teaching along with the Revised Common Lectionary. I loved the four different approaches to each text. Some were more helpful than others, of course, but I would consider this a 'rich' resource for preaching and teaching. The books are pricey, but they are large with very nice paper / readable print. Excellent.
