Hearers of the Word cover

This is the seventh volume in this popular series, and the first for Year C, the Year of Luke.

By exploring the context and background to all three readings, the author hopes to make the readings available for personal prayer and as a preparation for taking part in the Sunday liturgy.  This book is a very useful resource for all who wish to get more out of the season's readings. Fr Kieran is very well-known for his hugely popular 'Weekly Notes' – an email resource for each week's readings throughout the year.

Praise for previous volumes in the series:

"...all you need to know to enrich your experience of reading and hearing the Scriptures ... a book that you can select from, finding what speaks to you." - The Tablet

'a deep and scholarly piece of work, which provides plenty of material for study, prayer and reflection.'
