Introduction to the Narrative Lectionary
Introduction Commentary
by Rolf Jacobson
The narrative lectionary is a set of readings for Christian worship, which moves through the overarching biblical story in a ninth-month period.
The narrative lectionary respects the traditional Christian church year, with its principal festivals and seasons -- Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. It also respects the rhythms of the school year or program year, which influence the program lives of many congregations.
