We offer a library of care-for-creation commentaries on scripture readings, thanks to a dedicated group of commentators (see their bios here). The commentaries follow the Revised Common Lectionary and cover every Sunday in the church year. They explore ways an eco-theological interpretation may be an integral part of a theologically sound, exegetically based, understanding of scripture and well-known Bible verses.
Hopefully, you will find this resource helpful in preaching, planning worship, leading bible studies, and personal devotion. The commentator’s email address is at the end of each commentary. Since all commentators are volunteers, please send them a note of thanks when a commentary is meaningful for you.
We are continuously inviting new commentaries that speak to today’s events and concerns. If you would like to contribute a commentary, or know someone whose voice needs to be heard, contact the Commentary Curator, Katrina Martich.
