The essential pastoral companion for preaching 
The New Proclamation series helps preachers write better sermons—from Advent through Pentecost. It offers creative links to literature, spirituality, and the sociocultural scene in addition to historical and exegetical reflections on all the biblical texts. 
The format assists those using the Revised Common Lectionary, the Roman Catholic lectionary, and the Episcopal lectionary (BCP): 
1. Reader-friendly workbook design for easy note-taking and lay-flat binding for hands-free usage. 
2. Poetry, literature, and narrative highlight dimensions of the liturgical season and day. 
3. Discusses the present-day cultural context as it relates to the biblical texts.

There has been a growing awareness of the plight of the earth at the hands of human beings over the past several decades. An important theological contribution to this discussion over the past two decades has been the work of Dianne Bergant, C.S.A. She brings first of all a deep concern for the earth and its creatures. As a professor of Hebrew Bible, she also brings the contribution of the Wisdom literature of the Jewish tradition. It is at the intersection of these two resources—concern for the earth and the Wisdom literature—that much of her work has been done. The Wisdom of Creation, written to honor her, takes up the themes of creation and Wisdom from a variety of perspectives, both biblical and theological, to think along with Bergant about the challenges of caring for the earth and for those who dwell upon it. 
The work of a theology that will contribute to the care of and the future of the earth is still in many ways in its early stages. Dianne Bergant’s own work on themes of wisdom, creation, prayer, and preaching has made a significant contribution to that theology. It is hoped that these essays will continue that important task of making a better world in which the next generation will grow and mature.

The Old Testament prophets focus on human behavior, declaring what is right and wrong according to God. But were the prophets themselves ethical in their own actions and in their interpretation of God's will? In this study, Dempsey takes a holistic approach to biblical ethics in the prophets, exploring the link between hope and grace as ethical practices.
