Synopsis
Convenient and user-friendly, this one-volume guide provides resources for the entire three-year lectionary cycle, including midweek festival days. Brief comments on each of the three daily biblical texts identify themes for the day, musical settings for the appointed psalm are offered, organ music appropriate for the day is suggested, anthems for the day are graded according to difficulty, and hymns of the day are keyed to several hymnals. Pastors, music leaders, and worship committees will find much practical assistance for worship planning in the Handbook for the Common Lectionary.

From the Back Cover
Lectionaries are 'orderly sequences of selections of from Scripture to be read aloud at public worship by a religious community.' Technically speaking, a lectionary is the actual book of lections ( 'scripture lessons' ) to be read according to a prescribed schedule during either Sunday worship or daily prayer.
