Synopsis

Begining from the premise that engagement with biblical material must always establish a clear understanding of the context in which the passage was written before moving on to consider its applications to contemporary settings. This book establishes a pattern for the reader, offering an approach that could help both the occasional user, and those who wish to use this book in a more systematic way, to work with those readings which form year C in the Revised Common Lectionary. The author uses her experience as both a preacher and a biblical teacher to offer readers at all levels a practical tool that should enliven the text for use in a variety of liturgical and devotional contexts.

Review

For those who use the lectionary either in preparation for public worship or in private devotion, this book is a valuable resource. It begins from the premise that engagement with biblical material must always establish a clear understanding of the context in which the passage was written before moving on to consider its application to contemporary settings. This Companion volume thus establishes a clear and consistent pattern for the reader, offering an approach that will help both the occasional user, and those who wish to use the book in a more systematic way, to work with those readings which form year C in the Revised Common Lectionary. Combining clear scholarship with practical insights, the author uses her experience as both a preacher and a biblical teacher to offer readers at all levels a practical tool that will enliven the text for use in a variety of liturgical and devotional contexts.' - Revd. Dr. Jonathan Pye - Principal of Wesley Theological College, Bristol
