John R. Donahue, S.J., Ph.D., is the Raymond E. Brown Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies at St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore. He is the coauthor, with Daniel Harrington, S.J., of the Sacra Pagina commentary on The Gospel of Mark.
These short essays demonstrate both Donahue’s exegetical expertise
and his pastoral sensitivity. The reflections will be appreciated
both by those responsible for breaking open the word and by those
in the pews listening.The Bible Today
John Donahue’s commentaries on the lectionary readings are quite
simply superb. They worked very well when they first appeared in
America magazine, and they deserve to be collected in book form for
readers for a long time to come. The length of each reflection and
of the overall book is just right. This book works for people in
the pew as well as preachers and teachers looking for insightful
and relevant ways of connecting the lectionary readings with daily
life.The Catholic Journalist
