Designed to empower preachers as they lead their congregations to
connect their lives to Scripture, Connections features a broad set of
interpretive tools that provide commentary and worship aids on the
Revised Common Lectionary. This nine-volume series offers creative
commentary on each reading through the lens of its connections to the
rest of Scripture and then seeing the reading through the lenses of
culture, film, fiction, ethics, and other aspects of contemporary life.
Commentaries on the Psalms make connections to other readings and to the
congregation’s experience of worship.
This nine-volume series is a practical, constructive, and valuable
resource for preachers who seek to help congregations connect more
closely with Scripture. This volume covers Year C for the season after Pentecost.
Connections is published in partnership with Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
