How the Lectionary Teaches Us to Read Scripture | Rev. Dr. Michael Niebauer
Shownotes
In this episode, I'm joined by the Rev. Dr. Michael Niebauer to discuss his new book, From Word to Worship, which is all about learning to read the Bible in accord with the lectionary, noticing the way it connects Scripture and presents it as a unified story with Christ at the center.
Over the course of the conversation, we cover things like hermeneutics, preaching advice, the history of the lectionary, and much more.
