Reflections for Daily Prayer continues to be one of the most
popular and highly valued daily Bible reading companions. The
2022-23 line-up of writers continues its tradition of excellence.
Regular favourites and new contributors offer insightful, informed
and inspiring reflections on the scripture readings of the day,
based on the Common Worship Lectionary for Morning Prayer. In
addition, Paula Gooder, one of the most outstanding biblical
scholars writing today, provides the meditations for Holy Week. New
voices this year include Sharon Prentis, Dean of Ministry at St
Mellitus College and previously Dean of Black and Minority Ethnic
Affairs for the Church of England in Birmingham, and Luigi Gioia,
director of formation at St Paul's Knightsbridge, whose book The
Wisdom of St Benedict recently won first prize in the spiritualty
category of the 2021 CMA book awards. For every day (excluding
Sundays) of the 2022-23 church year, there are full references and
a quotation from the day's set of Scripture readings, a concise and
challenging commentary on one of the readings, and a collect. Also
included is a simple order for Morning and Night Prayer, and
additional helps for nurturing a habit of regular daily prayer.
In Ministry in Three Dimensions, Steven Croft outlines the
challenges - greater geographical and social mobility, and older,
smaller congregations, for example - that today's society presents
to the churches, explaining that models of mission and ministry
which were once perfectly adequate no longer work in this new
situation. The author identifies some of the potentially harmful
ways in which attempts have been made to meet these new challenges,
suggesting the use of secular management models as one such false
trail. Far better and more fruitful is to recover a
biblically-based understanding of ministry. In scripture and
through Church history he explores the dimensions of ministry
indicated by three different Greek words found in the New
Testament: diakonia, presbyteros and episcope, uncovering the rich
tradition surrounding what it means to be an ordained leader in the
Church. Steven Croft draws out insights from which a new, relevant
understanding of ordained ministry can be built across the
denominations, and explores how to put these insights into
practice, suggesting ways in which each minister can balance the
three dimensions in their own setting.
Oxford Student Texts offer an accessible route into the study of
