An exploration of the range of human emotions and interactions as reflected in the lectionary stories of the liturgical year, through the curious, thought-provoking lens of a philosopher.
In this compelling guide, Vance Morgan invites the reader to travel with him on a story-laden journey through the liturgical year guided by weekly lectionary readings--a journey that explores the intersection of faith and reason and tracks the ways in which the liturgical cycle and spiritual growth can be intimately linked. A preacher’s kid raised in a conservative Protestant tradition, Morgan found a spiritual home in the Episcopal Church, and in the cycles of the liturgical year. Weaving together biblical readings, philosophical extracts, and personal experiences, he encourages the reader to explore their own faith journey. The text includes selections from lectionary years A, B, and C, as well as questions for reflection/discussion.
