In this rich and deeply informative resource, one of the most learned
and insightful biblical scholars of our time provides an exegetical
analysis of each lectionary passage from the Revised Common
Lectionary and the Lectionary for Mass for each Sunday and major
feasts in the three-year cycle.
Preceded by an essay on biblical preaching, Sloyan's astute work
attempts to achieve the "plain sense" (Luther) or "literal sense"
(Aquinas) of each text, largely through modern historical-critical
exegesis. He deftly situates each reading in its historical
background and its liturgical setting, as well as within its larger
scriptural world through multiple cross-references and allusions. Usable within the whole range of lectionary traditions, Sloyan's work
is now available on CD-ROM with the full text (fully searchable) and instant
access to each biblical passage referenced. Those entrusted with the
preaching task have an extremely valuable commentary made even more
usable through the tools available on CD-ROM.

''This book is a testament to a remarkable career in the service of the ecumenical church. As always, Gerard Sloyan uses the best critical tools in the most positive way in the task of making the biblical texts accessible to the minister who must unpack them and build from them in the homily or sermon. A most erudite scholar, Sloyan also studs his commentary with pithy but useful references to church fathers, theologians, and occasional contemporary events. If the preacher has but one commentary on the lectionary on his shelf, this one will remain durable for years to come.''

''Many preachers will find this one-volume commentary on the diverse readings of our shared lectionaries to be just what they have needed. Written by Gerard Sloyan with his characteristic scholarly integrity, literary sensitivity, liturgical awareness, and ecumenical depth, the book should become a standard biblical reference.''
