Designed to empower preachers as they lead their congregations to
connect their lives to Scripture, Connections features a broad set
of interpretive tools that provide commentary and worship aids on
the Revised Common Lectionary. For each worship day within the
three-year lectionary cycle, the commentaries in Connections link
the individual lection reading with Scripture as a whole as well as
to the larger world. In addition, Connections places each Psalm
reading in conversation with the other lections for the day to
highlight the themes of the liturgical season. Finally, sidebars
offer additional connections to Scripture for each Sunday or
worship day. This nine-volume series is a practical, constructive,
and valuable resource for preachers who seek to help congregations
connect more closely with Scripture.

Luther once wrote: Faith takes hold of Christ and has Him present,
enclosing Him as the ring encloses the gem. The idea that we hold
faith because faith holds us, and that faith holds us because faith
holds Christ, is vital. We hold faith as we seek to know Christ
better, exploring Christian doctrines and deepening our
understanding of the impact and relevance to our day-to-day lives.
Faith holds us as we respond to Christ s calling, negotiate life s
challenges, and join in the work of bringing in God s kingdom. The
book conveys the content of core Christian doctrines and then
addresses the so what? of each, its take away, how it matters to
our everyday living, and how it shapes our spiritual and ethical
practices. Using theological literature and Scripture but also
current events, sociology, fiction, and movies, the author shows
that theology matters. It matters to our lives and it matters to
the life of the world. How we understand theology and its core
beliefs has an impact on who we know ourselves to be and how we
relate to God and to one another. Holding Faith concretely shows
how various and diverse understandings of particular doctrines play
out in relation to the way lives are lived and ethical systems put
forward. It holds that some approaches to Christian doctrine are
preferable to others, making persuasive arguments for better
approaches by drawing from the theological literature and also from
the news, sociology, general literature, and movies. Scripture is
consistently used and sourced throughout the book as arguments are
developed."
