Description: New York: Church Publishing Incorporated, 1977. Trade Edition. Paperback. This is a trade sized paperback with heavy cardstock covers and a glued spine. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. The spine ends and corners have some beginning rubbing and wear, along with noticeable toning / fading. The rear cover has a couple of stray ink marks. The text pages are clean and bright. "Within Christianity, the use of pre-assigned, scheduled readings from the scriptures can be traced back to the early church, and seems to have been inherited from Judaism. The earliest documentary record of a special book of readings is a reference by Gennadius of Massilia to a work produced at the request of Bishop Venerius of Marseilles, who died in 452, though there are 3rd-century references to liturgical readers as a special role in the clergy. Not all of the Christian Church used the same lectionary, and throughout history, many varying lectionaries have been used in different parts of the Christian world. Until the Second Vatican Council, most Western Christians (Catholics, Old Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and those Methodists who employed the lectionary of Wesley) used a lectionary that repeated on a one-year basis. This annual lectionary provided readings for Sundays and, in those Churches that celebrated the festivals of saints, feast-day readings." (from the book). Very Good .
