Hearing the Word
HEARING THE WORD is an e-newsletter series that brings weekly Sunday Gospel commentaries to clergy and the lay faithful. The commentaries provide two perspectives each week – one scholarly and one personal …
FROM THE PULPIT
From the Pulpit is written by biblical scholars and provides context around a Gospel’s meaning. Through explanation of how the ancient text tells the story of God’s Good News, From the Pulpit contextualizes the divine Word in ways that Believers can make it their own.
FROM THE PEW
From the Pew is written by laity and provides a believer’s perspective on how the Gospels remain meaningful to us today. Lay contributors may share personal experiences on how God’s Word in the Gospels speaks to us on a personal level.
