Description

Go global with the Bible! Get stuck into real issues of our day! Draw from wells of wisdom distilled from the lives of an amazing team of commentators drawn together to illuminate, to challenge and to nourish contemporary pilgrims.

Words for Today, edited by poet and theologian Nicola Slee, presents a lively, fresh and often radical approach to the text. Writers are drawn from around the globe and from different traditions, including Jewish as well as Christian biblical scholars. Readers are challenged not only to reflect but also to act in the light of the readings.

Nicola Slee is a research fellow at the Queen's Foundation. Birmingham and well known for her many publications. She has a particular commitment to the inclusion of voices and perspectives which have often been marginalised in Christian tradition, and this is reflected in the range of writers in Words for Today, including artists and poets, clergy and lay people, members of religious orders, people with something to say and an ability to say it strongly. Readers do not always agree with everything they read, but they testify to the way the notes stir them up and lead them into deeper prayer and action.
