What I'm Reading #9: Feasting on the Word (David Bartlett and Barbara Brown Taylor, editors)

Feasting on the Word, Year C, Volume 3: Pentecost and Season After Pentecost, edited by David L. Bartlett and Barbara Brown Taylor

OK, I'm not reading this cover-to-cover, because that would be silly. But this is a preaching resource based on the Revised Common Lectionary. Val gave it to me, and it is awesome. Feasting on the Word is a new series published by Westminster John Knox, and I have Year C, Volume 3: Pentecost and Season After Pentecost (which is where we are in the liturgical calendar right now). It's edited by two greats in the world of Biblical studies and preaching, David L. Bartlett and Barbara Brown Taylor.

Each week, there are 4 texts, and Feasting on the Word approaches each one from 4 different perspectives: Theological, Pastoral, Exegetical and Homiletical. I just read the entire entry on the Old Testament passage for this Sunday, and it got me all jazzed up, which is why I'm writing this now. :) If you're a preacher or a writer or just someone interested in how to approach the Bible from different perspectives, check this out.
