Feasting on the Word

Lectionary & Non-Lectionary Resources

The Original Series [Lectionary]

With this lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox offers the most extensive resource for preaching. For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays--one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text. This gives preachers sixteen different approaches to the proclamation of the Word on any given occasion.

The editors and contributors to this series are world-class scholars, pastors, and writers representing a variety of denominations and traditions. And while the twelve volumes of the series follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume contains an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers, as well as teachers and students, may make use of its contents.

Guides & Companions

The resources in these companions are a combination of material from existing Feasting on the Word volumes as well as newly written material for both lectionary and non-lectionary pastors. Hymn suggestions, midweek services, and children's sermon suggestions make these an invaluable resources.

The Guide to Children's Sermons equips church leaders and children's ministry volunteers to deliver children's sermons that are free of gimmicks and simplistic conclusions, that welcome children into the family of faith, and that give a foundation in God's good news for all people.
