In the following pages are comments on the weekly readings from the Old Testament as set in the Revised Common Lectionary. 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).
