Description - Practicing the Promise: More Sermons for the Lectionary, Year C, Advent Through Eastertide by Bruce L Taylor
The Scripture readings for Year C of the Common Lectionary (Revised) pair the Gospel of Luke, rich in its unique stories surrounding Jesus' birth, Jesus' care for the marginalized, and parables at once beloved and profound, with Old Testament and epistolary testimony to life-imparting faith in God's promises. Bruce Taylor's homiletical proclamation through the first half of Year C expounds the gospel's summons to live today in hopeful reliance upon all that God has pledged to those who trust the Bible's testimony to God's faithfulness. Like his previous collections of sermons for the Sundays and feast days of the Christian year, the penultimate volume in this veteran preacher's second journey through the lectionary is theologically rich, sacramentally oriented, and ecumenically sensitive, celebrating the church's unity and community as witness to Christ's living presence in the world. The sermons, including representative story sermons, speak as powerfully to clergy as to laity, to seminarians as to parishioners, evoking ardent commitment and lives characterized by gratitude, grace, hospitality, humility, and love. This book will be a welcome addition on the bookshelf or, better, on the desk and nightstand.
