When it comes to preaching from a lectionary, it can often be a
daunting task to create new ways of preaching about a passage that
has been around for thousands of years. It would seem that, after a
while, there would be no new ways of looking at a scripture
passage. A different perspective, however, can be most beneficial
in finding a new way to help your congregation see each of the
readings.
This is the inspiration behind the "Lectionary Preaching Workbook
"series and this special edition for Lent and Easter. By providing
new insights into each of the readings in the Revised Common, Roman
Catholic, and Episcopal Lectionaries, Mark Ellingsen has given
pastors everywhere the tools they need to effectively relate the
heart of the scriptures to their congregations, combining the best
of scholarly techniques with pastoral experience. Each of these
illustrations and thematic explorations provide the perfect jumping
point for pastors to take a text and create thought-provoking,
inspirational messages. Its easy-to-use format and illuminating
commentary make the "Lectionary Preaching Workbook"an essential
addition to any pastor's library.
Mark Ellingsen, a minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of
America (ELCA), has been a professor at Interdenominational
Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia, since 1993. He graduated
magna cum laude from Gettysburg College (Pennsylvania) and Yale
University, from which he received three master's degrees in
divinity, arts, and philosophy, as well as his Ph.D. He has
authored eighteen books. He and his wife have three grown children.
When he is not writing or teaching, Ellingsen enjoys discussing
politics, sports, and playing guitar.
