Download or read book The Lectionary Commentary Theological Exegesis for Sunday s Texts The First Readings written by Roger E. Van Harn and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-09 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching pastors, ministers, and priests know how quickly Sundays come and go. The Lectionary Commentary 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 The Lectionary Commentary. Designed to answer the question What does the preacher need to know about this text in order to preach a faithful sermon from it?, 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, The First Readings: Old Testament and Acts, provides exegetical commentary on the lectionary readings from Genesis to Malachi, and from the first seventeen chapters of Acts. Also unique to this volume is an excellent essay by Hughes Oliphant Old on preaching as worship. Consulting Editors: Richard A. Burridge Thomas W. Gillespie Colin E. Gunton Robert W. Jenson James F.

Book excerpt: The lectionary is a helpful homiletical tool. But there are times when lectionary preaching does not meet a congregation’s needs. Sermon Treks offers preachers and students an invigorating selection of new sermon-planning trails, for use as sermon series or for single sermons. The options presented here are practical and theologically responsible. Some are rooted in ancient forms of proclamation; others are new. All provide clear but creative guidance for the preacher, and a path that will lead to more effective sermons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this accessible historical overview of Sunday, noted scholar Justo González tells the story of how and why Christians have worshiped on Sunday from the earliest days of the church to the present. After discussing the views and practices relating to Sunday in the ancient church, González turns to Constantine and how his policies affected Sunday observances. He then recounts the long process, beginning in the Middle Ages and culminating with Puritanism, whereby Christians came to think of and strictly observe Sunday as the Sabbath. Finally, González looks at the current state of things, exploring especially how the explosive growth of the church in the Majority World has affected the observance of Sunday worldwide. Readers of this book will rediscover the joy and excitement of Sunday as early Christians celebrated it and will find fresh, inspiring perspectives on Sunday amid our current culture of indifference and even hostility to Christianity.

Book excerpt: If you love those Hallmark romances, along with mountains, lakes, and small communities filled with good friends and family, you'll find them all here in this novella. Enjoy the hope, adventure, love, and laughter in your visit to Green Mountain. This is book 1 in the Coming Home for Christmas Series and can be read as a stand-alone. Ridge left six years ago in search of the Berkley degree that would allow him to be an architect in the bustling city of Boston. That was his dream, but the other part he looked forward to was coming back home to the family-run Crofton Inn. With his Dad and Mom retiring, he and his brother Roan are taking over the family business. He knew that Sunday would be there, but what he doesn't count on is that she is not right where he left her. Sunday has been at the Crofton Inn since she was an infant, meaning that she grew up with Ridge and Roan. The three amigos were the best of friends. Ridge and Sunday had a bond like no other, both finding love early, so how could he leave her behind without a second thought? He wanted more... That open-ended statement has been filled in a million times. When Ridge comes back home to run the Crofton Inn, he's definitely interested, but there is no way he could love her. Who leaves the girl he loves for six years without so much as a phone call shared during that time? The ideal love story should have made Ridge turn around and come back. He's back now, determined to show Sunday how much he cares, but will he be six years too late? It's pure agony to have her near and not be able to be with her. Ridge was an immature fool once blinded by selfish dreams and unable to see what a mess he left behind. Has he learned his lesson?
