Prominent author and biblical scholar Elizabeth Achtemeier provides
an outstanding preaching and study resource with this collection of
brief expositions on all of the First Lesson texts contained in
Cycle C of the Revised Common and Lutheran Lectionaries. Infused
with her customary insight into the Hebrew scriptures, this
compendium of Achtemeier's stimulating contributions to the
preaching journal Emphasis furnishes a plethora of fruitful
starting points for preparing sermons solidly rooted in the Bible
yet connected to modern life. But as the book's title suggests,
this volume isn't just for preachers and homiletics students --
it's also a powerful commentary for study groups and personal
devotional reading. Achtemeier's unrelenting focus on the promises
of God appearing in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New
Testament, combined with her outstanding scholarship, make these
faith-filled essays an enriching resource for anyone who wants a
clearer understanding of God's Word contained in the scriptures.
"Elizabeth Achtemeier has spent her interpretive life at the
interface between critical exegesis and the task of proclamation.
In this series of brief expositions, she exhibits her interpretive
agility, her passion for the church, and her subtle judgments on a
number of theological issues. Those faced with the weekly task of
preaching will find rich and suggestive clues for letting the text
have its say in the church."
