A Gift for Preachers - By: Fr David Campbell, 25 Sep 2002
This is a wonderful resource book for all those who ever find themselves stuck for something to say when asked to preach. Texts for Preaching is a resource bookin the sense that it deals with all four readings (including the Psalms) for each of the Sundays of the Revised Common Lectionaryin the Church Year in considerable depth & one can almost always find something to inspire thoughts & points for contemporary application.

The commentaries are all based on the NRSV - a fact which should commend this book to readersin a variety of settings.

Those who know Walter Brueggemann's other works will be unsurprised to learn that this one contains all his normal lucidity of writing & depth of theological insight.

I was so pleased with this book that I have turned to it almost every week of this Year A & had no hesitation whateverin recently ordering its Year B companion online. It's not often one buys a book without even seeing it - but with Texts for Preaching it's a very safe bet!
