Companion To The Revised Common Lectionary

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.
