ON Scripture is a new weekly lectionary resource from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg (Pa.) and Odys- sey Networks, an interfaith media orga- nization. It’s published at odysseynet-
works.org,
Day1.org and huffington-
post.com/religion. The resource helps “ordinary people see [how preachers and others] move from words on the page to understanding how the Bible might speak to or be reflected in the real events of peoples’ lives and their world,” said Mary Brown, an ELCA pastor, Odyssey staff member and editor of ON Scrip- ture. Michael Cooper-White, Gettysburg president, said the seminary “is eager to share its resources and theological insight in new circles.” Other contribu- tors include Eric Barreto and Matthew Skinner, professors at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.; Barbara Lundblad, a professor at Union Theological Semi- nary, New York; and Eric Shafer, Odys- sey Networks executive vice president. Odyssey hopes to also include Jewish and Muslim scriptures. M
