  Lectionary Preaching Workbook Series 3 Cycle C

  $37.50

  Practical preaching strategies to help the over-burdened parish pastor communicate God’s Word in vital, meaningful ways.

  This is the third volume in CSS’s third series of popular preaching workbooks — Designed to help you get the most out of every moment you spend in sermon preparation.

  Special Features Include:
  Commentary on Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Common Lectionary texts
  Sermon Starters for First Lesson, Second Lesson, and Gospel texts for every Sunday in Cycle C
  “Theological Clues” to help you explore the relationships among all the texts for each Sunday
  Wide Margins and Stay-flat binding for ease of use
  Overviews of preaching challenges and possibilities for each liturgical season
  Extensive Bibliography of exegetical and homiletic resources for Cycle C preaching
  And All-new Insights from one of CSS’s most well-respected and successful authors

  This workbook is an exercise in liturgical, as well as lectionary preaching. It springs from the rationale that most lectionary helps ignore the liturgical setting of the lessons assigned to the various Sundays. It is this author’s contention that the exegetical/homiletical process begins with the church year. The year, cycles, seasons, Sundays, and festivals establish the themes and provide theological clues for worship and, particularly, preaching, especially in the first half of the church year. This approach is the outgrowth of the author’s doctoral dissertation and four of his books, The Renewal Of Liturgical Preaching, The Song And The Story, and Lectionary Preaching Workbook, Cycle A and Cycle B. Each deals with preaching from the lectionary texts in the context of the worship, work, and lives of the people of God.
