LOUISVILLE, Ky. (General Assembly Mission Council) The 2013 Moderator’s Lenten Study is called “Living into Lent,” written by theologian and educator Donald K. McKim.
McKim is executive editor of Westminster John Knox Press and the editor of “Being Reformed: Faith Seeking Understanding” and of the devotional publication These Days. He has taught theology at Memphis Theological Seminary and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. His books include “More Presbyterian Questions, More Presbyterian Answers” and “A ‘Down and Dirty’ Guide to Theology.”
According to publicity materials, “Living into” Lent encourages readers to reflect on their Christian identities while reflecting on Scripture; invites Christians to engage in practices that deepen the Christian experience through discipleship and to join with others in following Jesus and seeking to live out the will and purposes of God. The study includes readings and a six-session study guide.
“The Christian life is about following Jesus Christ to the cross and to the empty tomb as the Holy Spirit shapes lives of individuals and communities. Lent is a kairos time for the church to engage in that call,” said Neal D. Presa, moderator of the 220th General Assembly, in a statement announcing the release of the Lenten study.
Published by Witherspoon Press, “Living into Lent” is available for purchase at store.pcusa.org or by calling the Presbyterian Distribution Service at (800) 524-2612, at a cost of $12.95.
