NOT IN THE LECTIONARY

 

NOT IN THE LECTIONARY SERIES

Ever want to preach or teach passages that aren’t in the Revised Common Lectionary? Are you irritated by what is left out of the lectionary, which sometimes are the boring begats but more often are difficult passages or passages that deal with women or minorities? Then follow us here as two biblical scholars prepare short commentaries on the Not In the Lectionary passages that need to be addressed so the fullness of the biblical witness is represented!
