Review Summary: Understanding the Sunday Scriptures-Year B
Date: 2008-11-02
Details: Understanding the Sunday Scriptures Year B
This is a timely biblical resource for those churches using the Revised Common Lectionary. Not only is Understanding the Sunday Scriptures, Year B quite useful for clergy and lay Sunday worship leaders but it is an excellent resource for anyone involved in Bible study. Whether one is participating in a group study or individual study at home, the USS provides the bridge to enable one to better hear and apply God's Holy Word to every day life. The Reverend Doctor H. King Oehmig states in the Introduction, " By following this common pattern of Bible study...It is perhaps the most basic way that we fulfill Jesus' high priestly prayer: that the community of believers may be one as he and the Father are one."
It is the Bible that shapes and forms our worship of God. By providing a synthesis of biblical text from Sunday to Sunday the worship service is greatly enhanced. Not only does it tell what the text said, but it says how it relates to the reader. The material provided is theological and practical. Also Dr. Oehmig's "On Reflection" provides the reader with relative illustrations and examples pertaining to that Sunday's readings. In short if one is yearning and thirsting for a better understanding of how the Scripture can be applied to every day life USS is the resource readily available..
