{"product_id":"9780802830838","title":"The Lectionary Commentary: Theological Exegesis for Sunday's Texts, The Third Readings:: The Gospels","description":"\u003cp\u003e Preaching pastors, ministers, and priests know how quickly Sundays come and go. \u003ci\u003eThe Lectionary Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e will not slow the pace of the weekly calendar, but it will help assure that sermon preparation begins with a solid engagement with Scripture. Designed to \"jump start\" the difficult task of sermon preparation, this indispensable three-volume work gathers exegetical essays on biblical texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. Covering every Sunday of the three-year liturgical cycle, as well as Christmas Day, Epiphany, and Ascension Day, the readings are arranged in canonical order so as to be of use to all preachers. Seventy-eight pastors, priests, and teachers from a variety of Christian traditions have contributed their insights to \u003ci\u003eThe Lectionary Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e. Designed to answer the question \u003ci\u003eWhat does the preacher need to know about this text in order to preach a faithful sermon from it?\u003c\/i\u003e, each of their essays closely considers its specific biblical text, all the while remaining alert to the contemporary context in which the sermon will be spoken and heard. The result is an invaluable resource that will aid in the difficult task of facilitating a meaningful encounter between Holy Scripture and our modern world. This volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Third Readings: The Gospels\u003c\/i\u003e, provides exegetical commentary on the lectionary readings for the witnesses to Jesus Christ written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Also unique to this volume is an excellent essay by C. Clifton Black on Augustinian preaching and the nurture of Christians.\u003cb\u003eConsulting Editors:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard A.
