In Hear the Word of the Lord: The Lectionary in Catholic Ritual, Martin Connell offers an in-depth understanding of the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Mass. He presents a theology of the Word of God that is grounded in both ancient and ongoing liturgical practices of hearing and proclaiming the Word in the Church. Steeped in the history and composition of the New Testament, Connell traces the development of the Lectionary from the letters of St. Paul to the current Lectionary, demonstrating the way in which a listening assembly serves as an essential component of both our experience and our understanding of Scripture. In addition, Connell presents a comprehensive look at the structure of the Lectionary and its role in the liturgical year.
