Q&A#39 Should We Be Using the Lectionary?
September 4, 2018
Alastair Roberts
Today's question: "Do you commend the use of a lectionary for preaching? If so, what advantages does this approach have over preaching through whole books of the Bible? How should we think about preaching in churches where we can no longer take basic biblical literacy for granted and even face a bit of skepticism towards the Bible?"
