A WIDER CIRCULATION OF THIS VERY HELPFUL TRANSLATION CAN ONLY SERVE TO IMPROVE OUR BIBLICAL LITERACY. THIS IS AN ENTERPRISE WORTHY OF SUPPORT.

LECTIONARY

The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of weekly “lections,” or “readings,”; used by many Protestant churches. The RCL is built around the seasons of the Church Year, and includes four readings for each Sunday--usually a reading from the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible), a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles, and a Gospel reading. The seasons of the Church Year reflect the life of Christ. The gospel reading for each Sunday provide the focus for that day. In this way the great narrative of the Hebrew people are covered in three years (rotating through years A, B, and C) and the gospel of Jesus Christ is told every year through the lens of a different Synoptic Gospel (Matthew, Mark, and Luke—John’s Gospel is dispersed through all three years).
