"A Year Crowned with Goodness, Part Two is the second installment of three books with devotions based on the Gospels of the historic lectionary. It runs from Pentecost through the Last Sunday of the Church Year. The meditations not only probe the depths of meaning in these Gospels, but uses them as a platform to address the rising threat of Gnosticism in American culture. In the Part Two, certain themes emerge. Early on during the ordinary time following Trinity Sunday, Gospels from Luke dominate. Luke teaches us about God's abundance. In Christ God pours out abundant grace to us, and we in turn show abundance to our neighbors. Against a Gnosticism which rejects this world as limiting by its materiality, Jesus shows that a redeemed world bursts with abundance. Later in the Trinity Season, the theme of new wine bursting old wine skins comes to the fore. Here, the Gospels properly relate the New Testament to the Old Testament. Where the Gnostics outright rejected it, Jesus fulfills it." So reads the Amazon description of this new book. Today we talk with the author and ask him questions related to the book. One of the questions has to do with the Holy Spirit, and does the use of a lectionary, do any harm to the Spirit's work? Participants: Peter Burfeind, Dan Elmendorf
