Looking Into the Lectionary offers biblical commentary on the texts appointed by the Common Lectionary each week. In addition to the commentary six questions, one for each day of the week, invite readers into further study, additional resources, suggested spiritual practices or ways to connect the text to contemporary life. This book invites readers into a study of the Bible not only for the purposes of preaching and teaching, but also for the joy of being surprised by God's living Word that never returns to God empty or leaves readers unchanged"--
