Softcover/Paperback. Condition: Fair. This is the third and final volume in the comprehensive three-volume set of commentaries on all of the lectionary texts for Sunday reading (including the Psalms) and for special days in all communions, treating the readings for each year in a single volume. The three volumes are based on The Common Lectionary (1992) together with other readings kept in the Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches. A complete index of texts is included in each volume, making it useful for those who do not follow the lectionary or who are looking for commentaries on specific texts. Continuing acclaim for the series GÃà GãThere is no better one-volume resource for the weekly task of preparing sermons grounded in biblical faith. Over the course of the past year, the four authors have become my good and trusted friends as they helped me find something to say that is both lively and true to the text.Gà GÃà The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church, Clarkesville, Georgia GãSimply put, the best commentary series on the best lectionary. An unusual blend of biblical and homiletical skills.Gà GÃà James F. White, Professor of Liturgy, University of Notre Dame GãIts exegeses are well written and extremely helpful in preparing sermons.…

Margins of some plates moderately foxed (less so in Part II) with browning offset to facing text: see more on condition of plates below.** Despite any drawbacks, this remains a nice copy of an important and popular work by Lichfield and Derby English AUTHOR, poet and physician ERASMUS DARWIN(1731-April, 18, 1802) which synthesized the foment of 18th cent. Enlightenment ideas of science with revolutionary and Romantic themes in art, particularly showcasing the work of Swedish botanist and father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus. Industrial discussion of hemp, cotton, and clay are interwoven with racy-sounding verse on methods of plant reproduction. He first voices the idea of evolution in both the plant and animal world in the 1793 first edit. of Part I, in one of his many digressions, found in a note for Curcumin, (Part I, Canto I, line 65); a remark for which many account the life's work on the Theory of Evolution by his grandson, Charles Darwin. (A poetic fascination with Gnomes in Part I may have had something to with the convivial nature of his various scientific and literary gatherings; he was apparently prone to gout and both the London Johnson bookstore soirees and meetings of the scientific Birmingham Lunar Society were quite liquacious in nature.) **COLLATION: Section I.
