"Most Sunday homilists have shied away from preaching the epistles because Paul seems too difficult for them. Raymond Collins explores the reasons for this lack of familiarity and the reluctance to use the New Testament epistles as topics for the Sunday homily. He shows us just how important it is for the richness of the epistles to be incorporated into the Sunday sermon." "Using the Sunday Lectionary as a basis, Preaching the Epistles unlocks the richness in the epistles of Paul, James, and John, Peter and Jude, and the book of Revelation. Collins shows us how to present these scriptures in a meaningful and challenging way for people today by offering reflections and practical suggestions on sharing God's word within their communities."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Strana 134 - For from the wedlock of Christians there comes the family, in which new citizens of human society are born.

In it parents should, by their word and example, be the first preachers of the faith to their children.
Strana 6 - Because the sermon is part of the liturgical service, the best place for it is to be indicated even in the rubrics, as far as the nature of the rite will allow; the ministry of preaching is to be fulfilled with exactitude and fidelity. The sermon, moreover, should draw its content mainly from scriptural and liturgical sources...
