Advent through Transfiguration. With this popular new lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox Press offers one of the most extensive resources for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes of the series will cover all the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with movable occasions. For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text. Preachers might focus on the Gospel text, for instance, by reading all four essays provided for that text, or they might explore connections between the Hebrew Bible, Psalm, Gospel, and Epistle texts by reading the theological essays for each one. Each lectionary year will consist of four volumes, one for the Advent and Christmas season, one for Lent and Easter, and one for each half of Ordinary Time.
In Ordinary Time, the Old Testament lections in Feasting on the Word are from the complementary stream for Year A, split between the complementary and semicontinuous streams for Year B, and from the semicontinuous stream for Year C. Essays on the alternate lections will be available on the Feasting on the Word web site beginning for Year C in May 2010.

What Customers Say About Feasting on the Word: Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary, Year B, Vol. 1:

The commentary has been enlightening and helpful for sermon preparation and worship preparation. This commentary is well written. convenient (has 4 different takes on each of the texts for the day in one volume).is listed by lectionary days (so you can carry one book in your car or briefcase for easy study). This is my new favorite. It is well worth the money.
I am a tri-vocational, part-time local pastor in the United Methodist Church. They are so good at getting the mind working as to how to most effectively relate specifically to my parishioners the scripture text(s) I am going to use for the week. I have followed the lectionary since beginning my church ministry two years ago, but have veered off for the season of Lent. So I keep a fairly busy schedule. I greatly look forward to receiving each volume as they are issued. I am something of a book-addict and have literally hundreds of books that I will never live long enough to read, including many commentary sets. Besides my church and my day job, I also serve as a City Councilman for my city-ward. Even if I am not going to use a particular passage in any way during the week, I still like to read the commentary as there is so much to learn in these volumes.
This is by far the best set of books that I have come across for sermon preparation. I especially like the commentaries for the homiletically and pastoral perspectives. As someone previously mentioned, there is scripture index in the back of each volume, that I have used; and as luck would have it, the text I needed yesterday for the First Sunday in Lent, was in one of the three volumes already issued. The price (especially with the Amazon discount) is money well spent.
This Lectionary guide has been written by recognized scholars who have experience in the pulpit. It offers a nice variety of resources for each text. I purchased it as a gift for two of our local ministers; both, are very complimentary.
I am most happy with "Feasting On The Word." I am not a preacher, but I do help lead worship in my local United Methodist Church and take part in an adult Sunday school class based on the lectionary. I spend an hour a day with each of the scripture selections and find myself marking up the essays as I go. I also find myself learning something new - many somethings, actually - every day and I can not wait to work my way through all 12 volumes so I can start over again. I think I have been waiting for this book for decades.
So far I've been happy with the quality of information and the depth of imagination. I look forward to much more use. The layout is done very well and the writings are diverse and short enough to read quickly.
