The Roman Catholic Lectionary and the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Once again, Mark Boyer has turned his attention to a book that I deal with every day as a priest, but have never given much thought to taking apart and examining its construction—the Roman Catholic Lectionary! It is interesting to have at my fingertips facts about what pieces of the Scriptures we read in our yearly cycles, and which books get left out! Even more intriguing is the question of, ‘Why?’ Agree with his theories or not, the author always makes me think, which is why I often pick up copies of his works.”
