compilation of selected Scripture backgrounds for Year A. Commentaries offer
historical-critical backgrounds, identify recurring themes, and underscore the
relevance of the readings to life today. A gem of a resource for all who teach
and preach, this book will provide homilists with a lens through which to
prepare each week.
"This book is a
treasure-trove of insight and commentary on all of the Sundays, holydays,
solemnities, and feasts of Year A....It also includes nuggets of wisdom taken
from a multitude of Church documents that shed further light on the message of the
scriptures....It's wonderful!"
