Reseña del libro "Lectionary Preaching Workbook: Series X, Cycle C (en Inglés)"
Pouring out over three decades of wisdom in his newest Lectionary Preaching Workbook: Series X, Cycle C, David Bales invites teachers of the word to peer deep beneath the pages of scripture to consider broader perspectives and themes. In each lectionary day, Bales presents themes, summaries, exegesis, and a prayer as resources to guide sermon development, always attempting to expose preachers to different perspectives and deeper knowledge. As Bales carefully unpacks his thoughts upon each selected scripture passage, he combines his personal ideas with the time-tested analysis of other great Christian thinkers, resulting in a thoughtful and critical exposition on God's word. This unique style empowers pastors to engage with God's word, and the end result is a resource that will equip congregations to be challenged through a deliberate, well-informed message. Designed specifically as a sermon resource for Cycle C, the Lectionary Preaching Workbook will benefit any student of the word, and can be used for sermon starters, individual Bible study, and adult study groups. Each chapter includes: - Revised Common Lectionary texts for the day - Scripture references and intensive exposition - Theme analysis and narrative illustration - Citation attributions to various apologists, teachers, and authors - A pastoral prayer David O.
