Connections: Year B, Volume 3: Season after Pentecost (Connections: A Lectionary Commentary for Preaching and Worship)

It seems like the the writers of the Hebrew Scripture commentaries were told to combine both selections as if they were both to be read in the same service. The Revised Common Lectionary never a says to do that. The two tracks of readings are meant to be completely separate, ideally jot switched at all during the course of the season. This really distorts the analysis by attempting to find linkages when none were intended in the first place.

Not as high quality as I expected from the list of editors. Contributing authors come from a variety of fields, not all trained in exegetical study.

I have appreciated this series a great deal and have steadily bought each volume as they came out through the last three liturgical years. However, the delay in making available the hardcover of this last volume, past the start of the season it covers, is super annoying. I imagine it's due to delays in overseas printing, which would be a good reason to bring printing operations back to the U.S.
