Church Year: Studies in the Introits, Collects, Epistles, and Gospels

Paul Zeller Strodach (1876-1947) was among the most significant theologians serving in the United Lutheran Church in America. Strodach was a parish pastor, the translator of several of Martin Luther's liturgical writings, and the author of several important works on the Lutheran Liturgy. In The Church Year, Strodach provides his reader with an overview of the Sundays and major Festivals of the historic one-year series of Propers used in the Lutheran Church. His commentary on each Sunday and Festival is a blend of devotion and academic survey which provides clergy and laity alike with a helpful overview of the Calendar of the Church.
