For over twenty-five years the Proclamation series has been the essential companion for preachers seeking excellence and integrity in their sermons by providing the best in creative, searching, and responsible interpretation of the biblical lectionary texts. Book jacket.
I have come to rely on the "New Proclamation" as my primary source for guidance whenever I get any sort of block in preparing for the Sunday sermon. We all need help from time to time to redirect our focus when we seem stuck on finding the right message to share. I like the way the collective authors of "New Proclamation" give several directions that our minds might care to follow. They do so without a doctrinaire attitude that closes doors instead of opening them. I will have to state that I found their previous edition to be a bit more helpful. There were a few times I turned to this edition only to come aware just as stuck as when I consulted it. However, it generally follows the same format and gives a person a good overall view of the theme of the day as well as a synopsis of the readings. I recommend it to anyone in the ministry who isn't afraid to listen to other thoughts before finalizing their own.
