Buried Treasure: The Collected Church Times Sunday Readings

Drawing together three years’ worth of the hugely popular Church Times ‘Sunday’s Reading’ column, Buried Treasure offers both professional preachers and casual readers wise, engaging and relevant insight into the Sunday readings for lectionary years A, B and C in one volume. ''Follow the Sunday readings with Cally Hammond and you will encounter profound but lightly-worn scholarship, along with an unerring instinct for how scripture speaks to the joys and challenges of everyday life. She not only inspires, but is fun to read.'' "Behind these graceful reflections lies a devotion to scripture, a theologian’s mind, a priest’s care and, above all, a deep love of the Word of Life. Cally Hammond’s reflections provide a wonderful guide and encouragement for those who enjoy the privilege of preaching the gospel to God’s people.” ''Much more than an amuse bouche, Dr Hammond''s reflections on the lectionary readings offer a substantial "starter" for any preacher hoping to offer proper nourishment to a congregation. Her biblical and patristic scholarship, wide field of literary reference, and understanding of the linguistic subtleties in biblical translation prompt a deeper appreciation and reflection on the rich storehouse of the Scriptures, and the God they reveal. This is a timely reminder of what those in "ivory towers" can offer the Church, and why we need them.'' ''With clarity, wisdom and generosity, Cally Hammond opens up the scriptures. Each perfectly formed and compact reflection is full of precious wisdom, spiritual depth and piercing analysis. There is priceless treasure here for the student of scripture and the preacher in need of inspiration.'' Drawing together three years’ worth of the hugely popular Church Times ‘Sunday’s Reading’ column, Buried Treasure offers both professional preachers and casual readers wise, engaging and relevant insight into the Sunday readings for lectionary years A, B and C in one volume. Cally Hammond’s beautiful and profound reflections break down the division between reading and prayer inviting readers to see that the best way to read scripture is not by excluding error, but by including life in all its messy fullness.
