Designed for liturgical use or scriptural study, this resource offers a new perspective on the Bible and the liturgical year.

“Gafney's paradigm-shifting scholarship will influence biblical preaching and teaching for generations to come." —National Catholic Reporter

She is a graduate of Duke University (PhD) and Howard University (M Div). In addition to her biblical scholarship, she has written for Sojourners, Huffington PostFeasting on the Word, and Working Preacher.

An important work of great value for liturgists, preachers, and prayer groups. Even if used only as a tool to reencounter God’s word, it will provoke thought and new considerations that can enrich preaching. A recommended addition to seminary and parish libraries and large theology collections.  —Library Journal

In this marvelous final addition, Dr. Gafney gives our Bible back to us, overflowing with fascinating characters, a God worth believing in, and guidance to carry her wisdom into the pulpit.—The Rev. Winnie Varghese
