Product Description
Advent through Transfiguration. With this popular new lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox Press offers one of the most extensive resources for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes of the series will cover all the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with movable occasions, such as Christmas Day, Epiphany, Holy Week, and All Saints Day.
For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text. They might focus on the Gospel text, for instance, by reading all four essays provided for that text, or they might explore connections between the Hebrew Bible, Psalm, Gospel, and Epistle texts by reading the theological essays for each one. Each lectionary year will consist of four volumes, one for the Advent and Christmas season, one for Lent and Easter, and one for each half of Ordinary Time.

 A Feast Indeed! November 20, 2009
Eabrotherton (Austin, TX)
This series is a feast,indeed! The table is set with nearly all one needs for sermon preparation by well known and trusted Biblical scholars and theologians. Add the 'salt and pepper' of knowledge of your audience and life experience and illustrations, and one can create a meaningful and satisfying feast on the Word that enlightens our world.
 Everything you need for sermon prep November 16, 2009
James Garner (Pa. Dutch Country)
If possible, this would have been a 4 1/2 stars:
I will probably drop my subscription to an online homiletic service. These volumes have everything you need for good solid scripturally based lectionary preaching. A few "timeless" illustrations in the "Homiletic Perspective" column would be helpful. I plan to purchase all 12 volumes.
Great Resource for The Busy Preacher October 15, 2009
J. Long
Feasting on the Word is a "must have" for any preacher preparing sermons based on the Revised Common Lectionary. With the four different perspectives offered for each text(exegetical, homiletical, pastoral and theological), the preacher is sure to find this commentary series to be an invaluable resource for their study and sermon preparation.
Great Resource for any minister and/or Dedicated Layperson October 11, 2009
T. Hobby (Fort Davis, TX United States)
This is an excellent Lectionary resource for any minister; great scholarship. It explores the scriptures from many angles,with many authors and will provide more than ample inspiration for some great sermons. I wish a resource of this nature had been available during my 'active' ministry. I bought a copy for two minister friends of mine first; then this copy for myself even though I'm retired. It is probably more than the average Layperson would be seeking; but a full cup for those who want more. I purchased this item through Amazon.
A Mid-Season Surprise September 11, 2009
Perpetual Student
Imagine my surprise when I received this commentary and discovered that the OT lections had changed from the alternate to the primary readings (RCL). I later learned that this is how the editors chose to handle Year B in terms of splitting. I also understand that they are going to make some provisions for years A and C, but don't remember what the fix is.
