the Narrative Lectionary or NL, it is the brainchild of Rolf Jacobson and Craig Koester, professors at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minn. As they explain at
www.workingpreacher.org, the NL began as an experiment in 2010 to over- lay the key stories of the Bible (in order) on top of our common church calendar to help people become “fluent in the first language of faith.” Working within the church calendar, the NL takes the congregation on a jour- ney from Genesis to the letters of Paul, along with reading all of one Gospel. Over the four-year cycle (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) worshipers will touch on the key stories and passages that point to who Jesus is; how the whole of the Bible points to his life, death and resurrection; and how that big story makes us the church. Considering how most worshipers
have not read the entire Bible or how everything from Genesis to Abraham to Moses to Jesus to Paul fit together into God’s good news, the NL has proven to be a great option for a 21st-century audience. Hundreds of ELCA congregations (including my own) are now using the
46 The Lutheran •
www.thelutheran.org
NL in worship and creating parallels in children’s Sunday school and adult stud- ies. The results are people enthusiastic about Bible study; families talking Bible and faith at home; and new relation- ships in adult small groups. Even more exciting, other denominations are taking notice and discovering the NL as a way to build biblical literacy and awaken a love of Scripture. For customized worship and discus-
sion materials, go to
www.clergystuff. com. Talk to your pastor, your worship and education leaders, and see if the Narrative Lectionary might be a new addition to your worship and spiritual life.
