Overview
In The Entangled Word, acclaimed author Lauren F. Winner invites readers to join her as she preaches through the church year. In unexpected, gracious, and wise sermons, Winner
· helps those seeking more intimacy with Scripture find fresh ways into familiar texts,
· shows that staying with difficult texts is its own form of devotion, and
· kindles our affection for God's Word.
Winner covers highlights of the church year, such as Advent, Lent, Easter Vigil, and Pentecost, but she also marks moments that require communal prayer: a child's birth, a cancer diagnosis, a sudden death, a prayer answered. In deft and distinctive prose, she reads Scripture together with flora and fauna, history and current events, theology and tradition, beauty and bodies. Winner envisions swallows nesting in church eaves as a picture of baptism, ivy growing like doubting Thomas, and marriage as both a swamp and a river. These sermons spark curiosity and wonder in those who have grown bored with Scripture and help those wounded by it to find healing.
