OLD TESTAMENT READINGS: WEEKLY COMMENTS

The comments are the result of an engagement with the text by the writer, bearing in mind the historical and literary context of the readings, the other readings set for the week, the season in the Christian year, and events that are taking place around us.
Any suggestions or comments about this page should be
sent to me as web coordinator (howard.wallace@ctm.uca.edu.au).
