Synopsis

In response to clergy demand and input, New Proclamation couples fresh theological reflection and vital pastoral application with the tradition of faithful exegesis of the lectionaries, bringing the biblical texts into contemporary context and sparking the homiletic imagination. Brief liturgical introductions to the seasons and summaries of the lessons help set the stage for the preacher's sermon preparation.

New Proclamation continues the twenty-five-year Fortress Press tradition of providing preachers with creative and responsible approaches to the biblical lectionaries by leading biblical scholars and homileticians. Unlike other preaching commentaries that focus on a single lectionary tradition, New Proclamation the single indispensable resource for preachers who want to preach the gospel in a way that is true to the Christian tradition and relevant for our day.

New Proclamation includes: --a reader friendly, workbook design --introductions to the liturgical seasons with an eye toward preaching --references to culture, media, and contemporary events with practical suggestions for incorporating these into sermons --brief exegesis of the lessons and homiletical reflections on their themes.
