This revised edition of Adrien Nocent's comprehensive commentary on the three-year lectionary in relationship to the Sacramentary/Missal now conforms to The Roman Missal, Third Edition. This volume covers the Church seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Throughout the text, the author constantly insists that the Word of God proclaimed today is relevant in every culture and period of time. Revised by Paul Turner, it now has many helpful explanatory notes on history, culture, language, and, of course, liturgy.
