This unique commentary series helps preachers identify and reflect on the social implications of
the biblical readings in the Revised Common Lectionary. The essays
concentrate on the themes of social justice in the weekly texts and how
those themes can be teachable moments for preaching social justice in
the church.
In
addition to the lectionary days, there are essays for twenty-two
"Holy Days for Justice," including Martin Luther King Day, Earth Day,
World AIDS Day, and Children's Sabbath. These days are intended to
enlarge the church's awareness of God's call for justice and of the
many ways that call comes to the church and world today.
