About this title

Synopsis

The author of America magazine’s “The Word” column (2002-2005) uses images from classical and popular culture and draws parallels between the contemporary Christian and our Old and New Testament forebears to bring vividly to life the Word of God as proclaimed in the Lectionary readings for each week. Readers will be moved by the lyric richness of her language and her direct yet dignified style to engage the Word for all seasons and to ponder the challenging questions she poses. †
