“I love this Bible . . . It’s beautifully done, and it does a wonderful job of uniting a wide spectrum of voices into a coherent whole. I think one of its greatest benefits to today’s Christian is that it has enough of the familiar in it to resonate with what the reader already knows, and enough of the unfamiliar to give the reader a sense of learning and exploring some new and deeper perspectives on the faith. It integrates ancient and modern voices without making either look forced or compromised. And it has a very elegant yet accessible feel. I would definitely want to own a copy and could see myself using it frequently.”

– Chris Tiegreen, Author

The weekly meditations in Mosaic are designed to be used in connection with the church year. The church year might not be familiar to everyone who uses this Bible, but it is an excellent way to help focus our attention on God. Rather than the more familiar solar calendar that is organized by the rhythms of nature, the church calendar is organized around God and his activity in the world. It consists of six seasons of varying length. The church calendar begins with Advent, a four-week season focused on anticipating the coming of Christ at Christmas. Next comes Christmas itself, a short season that runs from December 25 through January 5, celebrating the incarnation of Christ. The third season is Epiphany, a celebration of light and the witness of Christ to the whole word. Then follows Lent, the forty-day season leading up to Easter, when we focus on repentance from sin and reflect on Christ’s redemptive word on the cross. This culminates in Good Friday and the dark Saturday between the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Following Lent comes Easter, the celebratory season of fifty days when we rejoice in resurrection life. Then the church year is capped off by the lengthy season of Pentecost, which focuses on living ht Christian life through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Each weekly meditation in Holy Bible: Mosaic is labeled with a week from the church year, and the Scripture readings are drawn from the passages that are traditionally read during that week by churches around the world. If you choose to follow this plan for reading the Bible, you will be truly connected with the global, historical church as you journey through the year, following the rhythms of God’s work in the world.

The church year is centered around Easter, which falls on a different Sunday each year. For this reason, we couldn’t assign specific dates to each week, and we created fifty-three weekly meditations to account for difference in the length of the season s of Epiphany and Pentecost each year. Bookmark this page so that you’ll always be able to find out where we are in the church calendar and which week of Mosaic to read.
