The Epistles And Gospels For Pulpit Use

Excerpt from The Epistles and Gospels for Pulpit Use: Being the English Version of the Epistles and Gospels Read in the Masses of Sundays and Holydays Throughout the Year With this object in view, I have incorporated here three things the lack of which has, in my own experience, at least, proved a detriment to good reading: namely, division into para graphs, punctuation designed to clarify the sense, and pronunciation of proper names wherever doubtful. In addition to these fea tures, I mention another that ought to find favor with preachers. The verses are num bered, so as to permit of precise reference to chapter and verse, whenever necessary, with out further consulting of the Bible. The figures employed for this purpose are small and above the line, and will not impede the reader. As another and important aid to good reading, a large clear type has been used.

"Most Sunday homilists have shied away from preaching the epistles because Paul seems too difficult for them. Raymond Collins explores the reasons for this lack of familiarity and the reluctance to use the New Testament epistles as topics for the Sunday homily. He shows us just how important it is for the richness of the epistles to be incorporated into the Sunday sermon." "Using the Sunday Lectionary as a basis, Preaching the Epistles unlocks the richness in the epistles of Paul, James, and John, Peter and Jude, and the book of Revelation. Collins shows us how to present these scriptures in a meaningful and challenging way for people today by offering reflections and practical suggestions on sharing God's word within their communities."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
