Strategies for Preaching Paul

Strategies for Preaching Paul provides preachers with three strategies for preaching the Pauline readings in the Sunday Lectionary for Mass during Ordinary Time. The first shows preachers how to make use of the historical and literary background to the text. The second shows them how to interpret the text within its wider literary context. The final strategy suggests the important theological themes that should be preached.
