Working the Lectionary is back! Your hosts, John Bottomley and Brendan Byrne have been away for a while, but they return in a new calendar year and a new lectionary year to discuss readings for Epiphany 4 and 5 2024. For Epiphany 4, Brendan and John ponder the message about prophetic ministry from Deuteronomy 18 and what it might mean both for a church all-too-often co-opted by capitalism's metrics of investment in future profitability; while, for Epiphany 5, they discuss Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 9, and its message of liberation from economic ideology's demands for compliance and what it means to be a community of faith in the world today.
