| Description: |
This work provides about one page of commentary per reading. It is designed to give students and preachers a deeper understanding of the Biblical background, rather than giving preaching tips. |
| Synopsis: |
Since the Common Worship Lectionary first came into use, many short preaching aids have been published. They have ranged from brief notes to almost complete sermons. This new companion offers an understanding of some points of significance in each lection for every Sunday and for other major days. It combines the latest scholarship with the conviction that the text should address today's scholarship with the conviction that the text should address today's world, squarely facing up to the difficulties that some passages may present to modern congregations. It does not aim to provide a substitute for sermon preparation, but to stimulate reflection among those engaged in this work. This is a serious academic commentary on the readings, by scholars who are also aware of the demands and purposes of preaching. The book: provides the academic background knowledge essential for interpreting the texts; does not shirk difficult questions; stimulates the prospective preacher to see new ways of reading the text; covers the Anglican variations not dealt with in American commentaries. '[Real] scholarship and valuable resources [are] to be found in this volume... ' John M. Court, Church Times. 'Preachers will gain great benefit from what [this scripture commentary has] to say, but so will the academically minded reader. Each reading is taken separately, and explored in the light of the latest scholarship, with the needs of a modern congregation in mind.' The Good Bookstall. |
