These reading sermons are an indispensable work aid for preachers, lecturers, and anyone preparing sermons. They are aimed at a broad audience and are written in a contemporary and vivid style. Fully developed, they can be quickly and diversely utilized while still allowing room for situationally dependent personal additions. An introductory section provides tips for this individual adaptation, making the sermons quickly feel personal. Each reading sermon is complemented by the corresponding text from the Luther Bible 2017, a daily and intercessory prayer, song suggestions, and a reference to the hymn of the week. Suitable for many occasions throughout the church year and also serves as a source of inspiration.
