This book presents a series of selected Old Testament lessons for public reading in churches, accompanied by notes and an introduction detailing the history of lectionariesâ"books that establish an order for reading from the Bible during religious services. Tracing their development from the synagogue tradition of the Jewish Church, the book highlights the importance of reading from the Old Testamentâ"a practice that has fallen into disuse in many churches. The author laments this neglect and provides a rich selection of passages to encourage a revival of the practice. Designed to be read aloud, the lessons in this book are carefully chosen for their literary merit as well as their instructional value, and they convey the meaning of the words to the ear, not just to the eye. Readers will be captivated by the depth of the Old Testament's divine story, exploring themes of God's dealings with humans, his address to their souls, and his plan for guiding them, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of God's place in human history and his relevance to our lives today.
