Product Overview
This unique commentary helps the preacher identify and reflect on the social
implications of the Revised Common Lectionary readings. In addition to
providing commentary for each day in the lectionary calendar, this
series introduces twenty-two Holy Days for Justice. These days are
intended to enlarge the church's awareness of God's call for justice and
the many ways that call comes to the church and world today. The days
include Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Earth Day, World AIDS Day,
International Women's Day, Cesar Chavez Day, Yom HaShoah, and
Juneteenth.
For
each lectionary day and Holy Day for Justice there is an essay that
helps the preacher integrate a variety of social justice concerns into
their preaching. The contributors are a diverse group of homileticians,
pastors, biblical scholars, theologians, and social activists.
