THE PASTOR'S UNDERGROUND

GUIDE to the REVISED COMMON LECTIONARY

This one-of-a-kind companion to the Revised Common Lectionary helps pastors use what isn't in the lectionary to proclaim the Scriptures more effectively and faithfully.

The lectionary is a valuable tool for preaching, but it is not an infallible one. In fact, by definition, using a lectionary limits what scriptures are used and the messages they convey.

The Pastor's Underground Guide... lifts up the often-neglected stories of women in the Bible and offers new juxtapositions of Old and New Testament readings, allowing preachers to step outside the rec-ommended readings and use the Bible in new and powerful ways.
