"Mark Ellingsen's new" Lectionary Preaching Workbook" will be a
wonderful resource for pastors for decades to come. I say this
because I find the book to be exegetically sound, theologically
strong, homiletically creative, liturgically sensitive, and
imminently practical in the best sense of that word. Practical
Theology of the highest order -- that's what describes Ellingsen's
workbook. A modest hope is that preachers who have found themselves
timid about approaching the lectionary will see in Mark Ellingsen's
workbook a way to test the waters, and eventually dive in.
Ellingsen provides here the opportunity for that homiletical leap
of faith
"William J. Carl III, Ph.D.

"Dr. Ellingsen presents the preacher with a resource that deeply
enriches weekly sermon preparation. Not only does he offer
exegetical and theological information for the lections, but sermon
topics, themes, and other resources as well... I also appreciate
the resources that he offers at the beginning of the workbook: the
review of the books of the Bible, a theological overview, as well
as reviews of the various seasons of the church. Unlike so many
lectionary resources that are grounded in the scriptures, Dr.
Ellingsen incorporates a strong focus on the theological emphasis
of the texts and context. I will definitely encourage the students
to purchase this workbook.
"Lucy Lind Hogan, Ph.D.

"Mark Ellingsen's "Lectionary Preaching Workbook" (Series IX Cycle
A) is a rich and stimulating resource for preachers, especially
those who manage the adamant deadline (really, lifeline) imposed on
preachers by weekly worship. Each section is filled with
theological reflection, liturgical sensibility, exegetical
sketches, along with sermon prompts, outlines, and "gimmicks." This
last is his own word for what amount to suggestions for why a
sermon on a particular text can be made to matter to both preacher
and audience...
Ellingsen's stated intent is to be an unbiased conversation
partner with the preacher and in this goal he is careful to provide
a range of options for topic and approach for each occasion... The
closer a preacher is to wanting to continue in the Protestant
tradition if theologically informed, exegetically nuanced,
liturgically sensitive, and rhetorically focused preacher, the more
that preacher will find "Lectionary Preaching Workbook" a sturdy
companion.
