This is the moment we’ve been waiting for! If you have read and utilized Tony Cartledge’s Bible studies over the years for preaching and teaching, then you will appreciate his scholarship on the new Nurturing Faith Commentary where the voices of women, the oppressed, and Mr. Rogers are duly noted. A welcome addition to your homiletical quiver. 

The mind of a scholar and the skill of an editor/writer enhance the usefulness of this commentary issued from a pastor at heart. It consistently opens the richness of  Holy Scripture to thoughtful 21st century followers of the Lamb, is a needed gift for the church,  and will be a helpful treasure for pastors and  teachers. 

There is something truly brilliant about taking the careful, thoughtful lectionary commentary that Tony Cartledge has offered for more than a decade, and compiling it in a series of commentaries that preachers and teachers can access without digging through their old, tattered copies of Baptists Today. As the producer of a resource that promises “A Sermon for Every Sunday,” I have a good idea of how much this series will mean to teachers and preachers across the country and around the world who are desperate for fresh insights and inspiring commentary on the weekly lectionary texts.
