Lectionary Ruminations 2.5 is a further revision and refinement of my Lectionary
Ruminations and Lectionary Ruminations 2.0. Focusing
on The Revised Common Lectionary Readings for the upcoming Sunday from New
Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible, Lectionary Ruminations
2.5 draws on over thirty-five years of pastoral experience.
Believing that the questions we ask are often more important than any answers
we find, without over reliance on commentaries, and with sometimes pointed and
snarky comments and Socratic like questions, I attempt to encourage reflection
and rumination for readers preparing to lead a Bible study, draft liturgy,
preach, or hear the Word. Reader comments are invited and encouraged.
We will soon be celebrating the First Sunday in Lent, followed
by Easter, the Easter Season, and the Day of Pentecost – Year A, the year of
Matthew. Here are links to the various Lectionary Ruminations 2.5
covering the period from the First Sunday in Lent through the Day of Pentecost
(Year A).
