Year D: A Quadrennial Supplement to the Revised Common Lectionary
Slemmons "argues for an expansion of the lectionary in order to present a fuller portrait of God's revelation. It includes a proposed one-year set of readings that does not shy away from many difficult texts, including from the Psalms and prophets." --Sojourners"[T]he approach being suggested by Slemmons ... demands serious consideration of all on whose shoulders sits the oracle's mantle. For at the heart of reformed worship pulsates the proclamation of the Word of God. ... Bonhoeffer had it right when, in the opening words ofDiscipleship, he declared, 'In times of church renewal, scripture naturally becomes richer in content for us.' / If the introduction ofYear Dmight prod us into that direction, then may the Word increase." -- Jack Haberer,The Presbyterian Outlook"The truth is that (Slemmons) has produced a magnificent work that should become a valued resource for preachers everywhere." -- David Ackerman, author of Beyond the Lectionary
