Information about sponsorship and support for this webwork (will link you to another page) About The Text This Week: This site features a wide variety of resources for study and liturgy based on the 3-year Revised Common Lectionary* cycle. I intentionally include a diverse variety of resources for scripture study, reflection and liturgy, and purposefully do not restrict the resources to any particular theological/ideological position, including my own. The site is a work-in-progress. I spend between 30 and40 hours each week updating links and finding more resources to link. The purpose of this website is to provide links to resources for study, reflection and liturgy which correspond to the RCL readings you may be using for study, teaching & preaching. The lectionary tables on this site are the easiest way I could think of to provide easy, lectionary-relevant access to study and liturgy resources. I am not attempting to provide calendars for official readings for any particular denomination. Please check your denominational sources for the official readings for any particular occasion. If/when you find any errors at The Text This Week, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know about them. At The Text This Week, you will find conveniently-organized links to a treasure of resources for study, reflection and liturgy pertaining to each week's lectionary texts - both as individual pericopes and as a group of readings within their liturgical setting -- a virtual study desk of sorts, laid out for your weekly exegetical work. Try the Art Concordance if you're looking for lists of artwork indexed according to Biblical themes. Consider joining The Text This Week's Facebook Page, where you will find recommendations, conversation, etc . Jenee About Jenee Woodard: I am an amateur scholar of Church History and Biblical Studies, a 1984 graduate of Saint Paul School of Theology (United Methodist) in Kansas City, and a 1980 graduate of Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. After working in a variety of ministry settings, I studied Biblical Studies, Early Christianity and/or Textual Criticism informally, and was planning pursuing a career in higher education after taking some time off from formal ministry & study to start a family with my husband Bob. I'm Mama to two "children": 22 old Jaie and 18 old Philip. Jaie is attending Oberlin Conservatory and College, working toward degrees in horn performance and physics. Phil attends a local high school classroom for students with autism, and spends his afternoons as a computer technician at a school system near here. He enjoys wiring circuits, helping with light & sound at theater productions, building and programming robots, creating/analyzing computer networks, and exploring the intricacies of the Weather Channel online. The financial, physical and emotional energy that goes into my son's care has precluded further formal education for me at this time, and this web-project is an attempt to fill some of that void. I am a double-bass and electric bass player and like watching DVD movie commentaries and reading in my spare time. Jenee Woodard
