The former Bishop of Galloway, Bishop Maurice Taylor has published a new book: 'Weekday Thoughts on the Sunday Gospel[ - written to provide “information, explanation and reflection” and designed to be used by individuals or groups in scriptural discussion and analysis.

Commenting on the book, Bishop Taylor said: “This book, is an attempt on my part to respond to the call to share the gift of faith which God has given to me. It is a kind of companion to an earlier book of mine: ‘What Are They Talking About?’

“I hope it provides – information, explanation, reflection, suggestion, resolution. It may be useful, therefore, for individual or communal lectio divina, for small groups’ discussion, for homily preparation or for anyone interested in spending more time with the weekly gospel reading, either before or after hearing it read at Sunday Mass.”

Endorsing the book, the present Bishop of Galloway, Bishop William Nolan said: “Once again Bishop Maurice Taylor blends his love of liturgy, his years of pastoral experience and his sharp mind in producing a book which will enhance the celebration of Sunday Mass by making the Gospel readings more understandable and relevant to many.”
