For more than a decade the author has been writing a "Saturday religion column," syndicated in ten newspapers in the 14 counties of Pennsylvania that comprise the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem. The "600 words or less" in the title comes from the rigorous discipline of writing to strict space requirements. The intent of the columns is to engage the secular culture and to bring the church's message to it by commenting on the realities of the human condition and on issues of general interest. This book is a compilation of many of the columns, organized along thematic lines.

This book will be an ideal cross-denominational trade book for individual reading or group use. The short-take format lends itself to episodic reading and will appeal to the individualdaily-prayer market. Clergy will find the book an excellent source for sermon ideas.

The Rt.Rev. Paul V. Marshall is bishop of the Diocese of Bethlehem, PA, and the author of several CPI titles, including Prayer Book Parallels; One Catholic and Apostolic: Samuel Seabury and the Early Episcopal Church; and Same-Sex Unions: Stories and Rites. Prior to his consecration as bishop he was professor of liturgics at the Yale Divinity School.

 

"A new book by Bishop Paul Marshall who has written extensively both for scholars and clergy and for the general reader. This book is a compilation of many articles, organized along thematic lines."—Bethlehem Diocesan Life
