The Abolition Lectionary
The Biblical message of liberation to captives, around the entire liturgical year. What does the Bible say about prisons and justice? The Abolition Lectionary is a devotional and preaching aid that presents the many resonances between Christian theology and prison abolition. Following the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary, each essay addresses one text for each Sunday. The variety of texts present a breadth of interpretive perspectives that show the connections between the biblical narrative of liberation and the modern-day prison-abolition movement. The movement of the lectionary across the seasons of the church year grounds the promise of liberation in the everyday practices of Christian life. The Abolition Lectionary grew out of a blog series of the same name on the website of Christians for the Abolition of Prisons that ran from 2020-2023. With contributors from many different Christian traditions, it offers an ecumenical, scriptural, liturgical, ethical, radical, and accessible entry point to learning about abolition. For Christians interested in personal devotional reading or for preachers and clergy looking to bring urgent concerns about prisons, policing, and restorative and transformative justice into their lectionary preaching. The Abolition Lectionary finds abolitionist perspectives across the scope of the biblical story.
