For each worship day within the three-year lectionary cycle, the commentaries in link the individual lection reading with Scripture as a whole as well as to the larger world. In addition, places each Psalm reading in conversation with the other lections for the day to highlight the themes of the liturgical season. Finally, sidebars offer additional connections to Scripture for each Sunday or worship day. This nine-volume series is a practical, constructive, and valuable resource for preachers who seek to help congregations connect more closely with Scripture. This volume covers Year A for Lent through Pentecost.
