A companion for preachers and teachers, this book brings together a distinguished team of contributors to write helpful comments on the core of the Common Worshop Lectionary - the Bible reading set for the main weekly Sunday services as well as for the festival hightlights of the Church's year. The concise reflections bring out the focus and particular emphasis of each passage, and is designed to help those who have to prepare sermons, talks and studies for congregations and smaller groups alike.
