Eating With The Bridegroom - The Spiritual Wisdom Of The Gospels For Christian Preachers And Teachers (Paperback)

2006 Catholic Press Association Award Winner

With a goal of transcendent awareness, John Shea presents this commentary on the Sunday Gospel readings for those who are drawn to the spiritual wisdom of the Gospels. Ideal for Christian preachers and teachers, and Christians who meditate on the Gospels, Shea's book takes a literary-spiritual approach. He analyzes the mindsets of characters and how Jesus complimented, critiqued, praised these mindsets, to inspire meditation, reflection, and spiritual development. "Eating with the Bridegroom, Year B" is the second book of a four-volume set, "The Spiritual Wisdom of the Gospels for Christian Preachers and Teachers." This set is a lectionary-based resource that references both Roman Catholic and Revised Common Lectionaries, making it useful and interesting to various Christian denominations. A Scripture index makes Shea's insightful reflections accessible for personal reflection on the Gospel texts as well as other uses outside of liturgical preparation. With wisdom relevant to our contemporary world, "The Spiritual Wisdom of the Gospels for Christian Preachers and Teachers: Eating with the Bridegroom" will find its way to the top of your resource list.
