Journeying with Matthew

offers a brief and accessible guide to

the Gospel of Matthew. Like the

previous volumes in this series,

Journeying with Matthew

follows the Revised Common

Lectionary. Each chapter corresponds

to a season of the liturgical year and

the Gospel passages read during that

season. Inside readers will find an

introduction to the biblical text that

looks at historical and literary themes;

imaginative new ways to encounter

Matthew in preaching and study,

including poetry; and reflections on the

text's meaning for contemporary

Christian life. Each chapter ends with

an action item, reflection questions,

and a prayer.

Perfect for

lectionary pastors to use during

personal reflection and sermon

preparation, this inspiring resource will

serve as an essential guide along the

journey of encountering Jesus in the

Gospel of Matthew.
