Feasting on the Word— Year A, Volume 1: Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary

Feasting on the Word #A1

by David Lyon Bartlett (Editor), Barbara Brown Taylor (Editor)

With the twelve-volume series Feasting on the Word, Westminster John Knox Press offers one of the most extensive and well-respected resources for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes will cover all of the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with moveable occasions. The page layout is truly unique. For each lectionary text, preachers will find brief essaysÂâ€"one each on the exegetical, theological, pastoral, and homiletical challenges of the text. Each volume will also contain an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers may make use of its contents. The printed volumes for Ordinary Time include the complementary stream during Year A, the complementary stream during the first half of Year B, the semicontinuous stream during the second half of Year B, and the semicontinuous stream during Year C. Beginning with the season after Pentecost in Year C, the alternate lections for Ordinary Time not in the print volumes will be available online at feastingontheword.net.

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.
