Catalyst: "New Proclamation Commentary on the Gospels" from Fortress Press, by Andrew Gregory, David Bartlett, Morna Hooker, and Henry Wansbrough, Foreword by Richard A. Burridge, 211 pages, hardcover, c. 2006, $35
[Source: Fortress Press] This one-volume commentary provides coherent, critical, and continuous commentary on the four Gospels as they appear in the Revised Common Lectionary, Book of Common Prayer, and Roman Catholic Lectionary for Mass, highlighting themes important for preachers.
"This readable commentary by four outstanding scholars, from differing traditions within the Christian Church, is a most welcome aid to preaching. It combines careful scholarship with accessibility. Above all, it is rooted in the conviction that the complementary stories of Jesus in the New Testament, interpreted by each other and as they have been experienced historically and in the contemporary world, enable us to discern what the Spirit may be saying to the people of our day about Jesus of Nazareth." -- Christopher Rowland, Dean Ireland Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford
