The lector service by Rolf Zerfass is a proven reference book that has been regarded as a standard work for lectors in a church context for nearly five decades. It provides a comprehensive guide for effectively presenting and praying the texts of the Holy Scriptures during worship. In 15 clearly structured rules, it addresses central aspects such as preparation, the organization of texts into meaningful sections, speaking melody, and body posture. The book takes into account the author's experiences from numerous lector courses and has been continuously improved and expanded. With a clear focus on clarity and emotional engagement, it aims to make the spoken word not only audible but also touching. Its compact format and practical tips make it an indispensable companion for anyone taking on responsibilities in worship services.
