Scripture commentary available online |
Celebration, the ecumenical worship resource of the
National Catholic Reporter Publishing Company, will make available to all
NCR subscribers an online archive of commentaries on the
Lectionary. The commentaries were written by Patricia Datchuck
Sánchez and were previously published in the homiletic section of
Celebration. They offer an exegesis of scriptures for all Sundays and
most major jeasts of the A, B and C cycles of the Lectionary. The archive
can be searched by year, season or a specific Sunday. It is being offered to
NCR subscribers without charge. To register for a password, visit the
Celebration Web site at www.ncrpub.com and click the
Sánchez Archives button. Sánchez, a regular contributor
to Celebration for over 20 years, holds an M.A. in literature and
religion of the Bible from a joint degree program with Columbia University and
Union Theological Seminary in New York. |
