With the church year 2018/19, a new pericope order came into force, providing for just over seventy new Old Testament sermon texts. The volume familiarizes the reader with these texts. Each pericope is commented on exegetically and embedded liturgically-homiletically in the context of the respective proper. Also questions which have always accompanied the preaching of Old Testament texts are dealt with: What does it mean exegetically, theologically and homiletically that these texts were not written under the influence of the Christ event? Does it make a difference whether one preaches about a New or Old Testament text? And what does it mean that the same texts are part of both, the Christian and the Jewish canon? The extended new edition now also contains the 16 new Old Testament texts that are assigned to the so-called “further feast and commemoration days” of the pericope order – such as Reformation Day, St. John’s and St. Michael’s Day, St. Martin’s and St. Nicholas’ Day, the Day of Commemoration of the November Pogroms and the Victims of National Socialism.
