Description

God’s Word Is Alive (Three year cycle)
Embark on a journey through the Sunday readings of 2016 with award-winning biblical commentator Alice Camille. Gods Word Is Alive is arranged into four parts: one for each of the three lectionary cycles and a fourth for feast days and solemnities. Camille taps into the power of the liturgical cycle by offering a brief reflection on each reading coupled with discussion questions to encourage readers to engage Scripture and make the connection between Gods Word and everyday life. An Action Response concludes each Sundays commentary by presenting concrete ideas for people to live the message of Scripture.

Each commentary drives to the heart of the readings, distilling the core meanings of Scripture in new and inspiring ways. Her reflections, such as Shepherds, Whats in a Name? and A Life Given Freely, are written in accessible, understandable language, yet packed full of scholarly insight that makes Gods Word Is Alive a useful resource for the biblical novice and expert alike.
