Useful with diliberate bias

These introductions to Sunday readings for all three cycles are deliberately biased/slanted to concerns regarding the attitudes towards Jews that arise from the uncritical interpretations of the passage. The introduction is very clear that this is the intention. The introduction is an excellent introduction to the recent Church's view of Jews as followers of a legitimate, continuing covenant with God and of prophetic Scripture as pattern fulfilled by Jesus Christ yet waiting to be more fully fulfilled in the fullness of God's rule at the end of time.The book fulfills its promise in locating the pericopes in space, time and inter-faith concerns. The introduction says that the introductions have been tested in parish life. They could easily be adopted by other parishes or churches using the Revised Common Lectionary.
