Purchase options and add-ons

With the twelve-volume series Feasting on the Word, Westminster John Knox Press offers one of the most extensive and well-respected resources for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes will cover all of the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with moveable occasions.

The page layout is truly unique. For each lectionary text, preachers will find brief essaysÂâ€"one each on the exegetical, theological, pastoral, and homiletical challenges of the text. Each volume will also contain an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers may make use of its contents.

The printed volumes for Ordinary Time include the complementary stream during Year A, the complementary stream during the first half of Year B, the semicontinuous stream during the second half of Year B, and the semicontinuous stream during Year C. Beginning with the season after Pentecost in Year C, the alternate lections for Ordinary Time not in the print volumes will be available online at feastingontheword.net.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the Kindle Version ...
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
I have been buying this series on Kindle for two reasons.

Reason #1 - the font on the original books is too small
Reason #2 - It takes up much less space

The Kindle version, unlike the book version (which has side by side readings of the four) offers a single reading of each one.

It is easy to mark up, take notes, and if I use my iPad for a screen shot, even lets me print out a bit of text I want to use.

As a pastor I use this both in preparing sermons and in preparing to share in a group pastors Bible Study where we share the lectionary together.

My only comment is that these use alternate texts for the second half of Year B and all of Year C. It would have been nice to have all texts available.

But still, one of the best resources I have on hand.

I find Feasting on the Word to be a must-have for modern preaching and education. I appreciate that the writers go through categorically to examine the texts theologically, pastorally, exegetically, and homiletically. Thorough and fresh perspectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lectionary Commentaries for the RCL
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
If you are a pastor or worship leader who follows the Revised Common Lectionary for at least part of the year I would highly recommend the Feasting on the Word lectionary commentary series. It offers four different essays on each of the passages for each week. There are also additional add-on series or single volumes connected to this commentary series including a volume for Advent, a volume for Lent, a book of children's sermons for each of the three liturgical years, and a series of worship companion books that offer prayers and other liturgical elements to tie into each week's lectionary passages (six volumes, two for each liturgical year).

These tend to be pricey, especially for the volume that is currently in season. I have countered this by adding volumes to my collection when they are out of season. Another good option is to use the Kindle versions which (usually) cost around $15 each.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect supplement to the RCL
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2011
Verified Purchase
If you are new to the Revised Common Lectionary or have been using it for years, this book,and its companion volumes, will prove to be an invaluable tool for you for many years. It explores each reading for every Sunday of the Liturgical year from four perspectives: theological, pastoral, exegitical and homiletical and in doing so provides a wealth of information for the preparation of liturgies and sermons that reflect the sense of the scriptures for that day. I have been using these volumes for 3 years now, and have recommended them to sermon study groups and to my brothers and sisters in the ordained ministry since I first opened the first volume. Many thanks to David Bartlett and Barbara Brown Taylor for their excellent editorial work and for making these books available to preachers and students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feasting on the Word is one of the best liturgical resources out there
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
As always, this volume of Feasting on the Word lives up to its sister volumes. Feasting on the Word is one of the best liturgical resources out there. I'm not Presbyterian (which I think the authors are); I'm United Methodist but the commentaries are still relevant to my theological setting. It's an excellent product. No question, that this is a must-have for clergy everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a Feast of Ideas
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
A very clear and thoughtful approach to preaching from the lectionary. By having four different perspectives on each selection the book provides the reader with many opportunities to respond from his or her own situaion, both personal and situational. This is an excellent resource to consult during the early process of message formation.
