For twenty years now the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) has been doing its work among us. . . . It has had to win its way simply by its own excellence and by the appeal of the idea of reading the scriptures on Sundays and feast days in concert with other Christians in churches across the world as a sign of our unity in Jesus Christ." from the introduction by Gordon Lathrop
This edition includes the definitive list of RCL citations together with a new comprehensive introduction and notes to the reading sets, illuminating the origin and development of the lectionary that is explored weekly by thousands of preachers, worship leaders, and students of scripture.
