Alistair Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 If I use this it will be from a Bible text, not from a daily reading (I'm non-lectionary but this product intrigues me.) So I'm not going to look up Proper 9 or August 17th, I'm going to start with a Bible passage and want to go sideways from that. So I think you are saying it works like any other commentary you want to have in parallel with a Bible text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Francis Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 So does that mean it will eventually open up with the info pane ? (I tried it with Mark 12:28 and now FOW was not listed.... yet when I open series B up in a parallel it hopped right to it. I just feel there may be frustration with the module since they are 3 and in order to sync to the proper place you need to have the correct module open... I mean you can be assured of having the proper one open by going to Feasting on the Word Readings seeing the pane to Scripture up at the top and then you can enter the text you want. This is actually far more useful since sometimes like with the Psalms you will have multiple treatments.. When I entered Psalm 23 for example there are 6 treatments of this psalm over the 3 years. 3 times in Year A, 2 times in Year B and once in Year C. A count that will get even higher once the remaining alternative Ordinary Time readings are entered. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The user is free to arrange them as they please. We know there will be some limited overlap in readings. Even so, we felt that for the majority of cases it was still helpful to have it sync as a reference tool. And Accordance is so flexible in how you can view a resource, you can always choose what best fits your desired study / reading experience (e.g. standalone, in parallel, standalone 'linked' to a text, daily reading with accompanying readings module).

If I use this it will be from a Bible text, not from a daily reading (I'm non-lectionary but this product intrigues me.) So I'm not going to look up Proper 9 or August 17th, I'm going to start with a Bible passage and want to go sideways from that. So I think you are saying it works like any other commentary you want to have in parallel with a Bible text. This would be a great resource just to have as a commentary (especially if you are involved in a regular bible teaching ministry) though with one caveat, not every verse of scripture is covered in the lectionary readings so you may find some parts of scripture are not commented on by this resource. However my understanding is that every verse of the Gospels is covered in FoG. :-) Even if your particular christian tradition does not use the lectionary, its a great resource to interact with. Non lectionary churches still tend to have Christmas and Easter services and the lectionary has readings that are a great starting place for those services. I came to the RCL looking for ideas for a four part series leading up to Christmas and discovered Advent and the idea of Christian seasons :-) The RCL is not perfect but it is something I have come to love.

Daniel Francis Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Each is new... even in the case where readings are identical each year like Christmas morning... you have 3 sets of readings for each of those. So each occurrence is unique and often discusses other Lections for the day when applicable. I am not trying to say FOW will give you 100% of Bible coverage but it tends to touch all major passages especially when you add in typological and semicontinuous. I have seen other lectionary commentaries that love to refer you to the first occurrence of a passage when it is duplicated. Which is fine in general but focus of Psalm 23 read in lent might be significantly different than when reading in easter time, or in the early fall (the 3 times it comes in YEAR A). -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hunt Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks for the clarification Dan. You are right that the lectionaries choice of text for a given season can mean a different emphasis is applicable. A lectionary commentary proves its worth by not only saying what does this text mean, but also answering the question as to why are we reading it (the chosen text) at this particular point (season) in the lectionary. Makes it a very comprehensive resource especially for the more commonly used passages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more work than it seemed at a surface level, and have to balance it with other projects. We did decide that it will be a free update (even though the Additional Essays are individual ISBNs with respective suggested pricing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Francis Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 oh well aware of them I had bought them. although when wjkp commissioned another software company to release a new electronic edition to replace their pdf CD-ROM version they included them for free. Had it been something Accordance had decided they had to charge for to add in I would have been glad to pay an upgrade fee. That said I am very happy and grateful that it is being provided free of charge. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
