The New Testament epistles are much more than just a historical
record of the early church -- they are also the heart and center of
Christian proclamation, helping us to clearly understand how the
life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is part of God's
cosmic plan of salvation. In this outstanding anthology of sermons
based on the Second Readings from Cycle A of the Revised Common
Lectionary, five distinguished preachers bring their insight to the
pastoral letters and draw valuable lessons for the complex
challenges posed by life in the 21st century. Each
thought-provoking message is filled with compelling stories and
illustrations, and offers a clear and authentic vision of Christian
faith in the context of daily life. With material for every Sunday
and major celebration throughout the entire church year, this
resource provides abundant seeds for preaching, teaching, and
meditation, and will become a treasured addition to anyone's
reference library.
This essential resource is useful for:
- Fresh homiletical approaches to the lectionary texts
- Inspiring preaching illustrations and sermon starters
- Understanding scripture passages
- Adult study and discussion groups
- Personal devotions and Bible study
