About this title

Synopsis

The latest volume of New Proclamation, the popular and widely used preaching resource series, helps preachers write better sermons from Easter through Pentecost. It offers first-class exegesis and homiletical advice, important observations about the liturgical season and setting, and an array of features to help spark the homiletical imagination and connect the readings to contemporary life and culture. Designed to assist those who use the Revised Common Lectionary, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Roman Catholic lectionary, it includes brief exegesis of the texts, homiletical reflections on their themes, and references to contemporary events and culture with practical suggestions for incorporating those issues into sermons.
