Transcription of The Narrative Lectionary - Working Preacher
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
The Narrative Lectionary (NL) is a four-year cycle of readings for use in worship and preaching. The goal is to preach annually through the biblical Narrative so that the lives of believers might be centered in God s story. Each week, two texts are provided a preaching text and an accompanying ReadingsThe Narrative Lectionary follows the academic/program year (Sept. May), and it is shaped by the church year. Each year the preaching texts trace the sweep of the biblical story: Old Testament: From the Sunday after Labor Day through Advent, Old Testament readings (with accompanying texts from the Gospels) move through the story of God s dealings with Israel and culminate in Advent with the prophets longing and hope for the coming Messiah. One Gospel each year: From Christmas to Easter, readings from one Gospel (with accompanying texts from the Psalms) tell the story of the birth of the Messiah at Christmas, the revelation of the Messiah during Epiphany, and Jesus passion through Lent and Holy Week.
The Narrative Lectionary is an open-source project hosted by Luther Seminary. The 2017-2018 brochure was created by Luther Seminary and paid for by these partners.
