The official announcement of the revision to the Common Lectionary, in which 20 international denominations, from Protestant Free Wesleyan to Roman Catholic, participated for six years. A complete three-year listing of the Lectionary (A, B, C) guides Scripture reading on the Lord's Day, aiding pastors and professors who use the Revised Common Lectionary that begins in Advent (November) 1992.
This is the third and final volume in the comprehensive three-volume set of commentaries on all of the lectionary texts for Sunday reading (including the Psalms) and for special days in all communions, treating the readings for each year in a single volume. The three volumes are based on The Common Lectionary (1992) together with other readings kept in the Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches. A complete index of texts is included in each volume, making it useful for those who do not follow the lectionary or who are looking for commentaries on specific texts.

Eugene L. Lowry explains the rationale behind the 1992 lectionary revision; examines specific Biblical texts; shows how to overcome the obstacles of lectionary preaching; and analyzes the claims of text, situation, sermon form, and gospel upon the preacher. Lowry is also the author of Doing Time in the Pulpit and How to Preach a Parable.
Adopted by General Convention 2006 as the official lectionary of the Episcopal Church, effective the first Sunday in Advent, 2007, the Revised Common Lectionary seeks to improve and expand upon the Common Lectionary as found in The 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Ruth Meyers, academic dean and professor of liturgics at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary introduces the benefits of this new lectionary and explains how its inherent revisions allow for deeper and fuller access to the Biblical texts central to our worship -- publisher's website.

Adapted for the Church of England, this three year lectionary is sanctioned officially for use by individuals and churches. It begins in Advent and contains readings for the principal Sunday service.
Although one often hears of the need to preach "the whole counsel of God," few resources have seriously and specifically attempted to assist the preacher and planner of worship to do just that--until now. Year D makes the case for the need and promise of supplementing the Revised Common Lectionary with a fourth year of lections and arranges many previously excluded biblical texts in an orderly, one-year preaching plan. It fills a need widely voiced by preachers that the lectionary effectively limits and censors the functional canon of Scripture. Destined to serve as a staple source of significant revitalization in mainline preaching and worship, Year D banks on the agency of Word and Spirit to renew the church as few practical proposals have done in the last twenty years, lending new focus and impetus for exploring the Bible's forgotten riches. A timely and urgently needed "return to the sources," Year D represents a fresh appropriation of neglected and marginalized texts for preaching, worship, education, and devotion, and thus constitutes a substantive, scriptural attempt to address what Walter Brueggemann has called "the current preaching emergency."
This lectionary contains all of the readings (Lesson, Response, Epistle, and Gospel) for the Sundays in Years A, B, and C as well as all the readings for the Holy Days and Special Occasions of the church year. Whenever possible the texts for the Response (psalm or canticle) are taken from The Book of Common Prayer. Also included are the texts of the contemporary version of the Collects of the Day from the BCP.
