Book Description
The Year of the Lords Favor is commentary on the texts of the Revised Common Lectionary that is contextualized, politically engaged and unflinchingly honest. Comfort is cruel if it is based on an illusion. These reflections connect honestly and realistically with the ordinary circumstances of experience. They encourage the twenty-first century Christian to live in a way that transcends sentimentality and fear and live a faith that makes things happen.
Editorial Reviews
Review
– Barth once said that the preacher should have the Bible in one hand and to-day’s newspaper in the other. Tom Arthur does just that. This is Biblical exposition of a high order, sure-footedly tracing the journeys of God’s grace in the lives of his people and the flux of the world. Read these reflections and let Scripture come alive for you. –David Cornick
