RL-02 - Lent: Dying, Rising, and Living Anew

Featuring Dr. Richard Lowery, Ph.D.
With addition discussion with Pastor Linda McCrae.

rick_lowery_bio_pic_200w.jpgThis course explores the Hebrew Bible lections for Lent in the Revised Common Lectionary, Year C, beginning with the alternate suggested reading for Ash Wednesday (Isaiah 58) and ending with the Fifth Sunday in Lent. Though the Sixth Sunday in Lent offers a thematic choice (Palm or Passion), most churches celebrate the Palm Sunday, triumphal entry theme. The lectionary offers no Palm Sunday reading from the Hebrew Bible, so we won’t have a session about that week’s texts. Brief video lectures will reflect on each week’s text from the Hebrew Bible, placing it in its broader historical, social, political, and theological context. Lectures for the Sundays in Lent will be followed by a brief conversation between Rick and the Rev. Linda McRae, senior pastor of Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Indianapolis. These conversations will explore connections between the Hebrew Bible lection and the gospel reading and begin to think about how these texts might be preached.
