Experience how the lectionary unites Scripture, seasons, and liturgy in worship

Every week, millions of Christians across the world hear Scripture read from the lectionary: They are exposed to the content of the Bible through assigned weekly readings from the Old Testament, the Psalms, the New Testament, and the Gospels. These readings affirm that Christ is the center--the one who holds all things together. But it's not always obvious how these texts relate to one another.

In this book, Michael Niebauer unlocks the potential of the lectionary to help Christians be transformed by Scripture. He traces the church year and its major themes, showing how the lectionary's assigned readings harmonize with one another to magnify Christ and how the church enacts these readings in its worship and liturgy.

From Word to Worship is an ideal aid for preachers who want to capture the riches of the lectionary and a companion for any believer interested in navigating the seasons of the church year through a holistic and ancient interpretation of Scripture.
