bible in a year


Jonathan Fraser, our youth minister, is involved in a remarkable project at the moment. He is reading the bible in a year, along with a considerable group of people linked to the congregation, many of them youth. On a daily basis he is writing a commentary on each passage. In years to come, as well as Barclay and Tom Wright, I think we may well be turning to Fraser's commentaries to give us light on Scripture. The year began on 1st September. If you would like to share in this project, today would be a good day to join in, as the readings are now beginning at 1 Samuel. Here is the link.

I'm really enjoying his commentary. Lots of excellent fresh insights and plenty humour too. Keep going Jonny.

Very encouraging and down to earth. More like a chat about the Scripture than a sermon which gives it a really nice feeling. Keep up the good work!!

Jonathan Makes it all very clear so that all levels of intellect can "get it." It is a lot of work for him and he deserves lots of thanks from all his readers.
I particularly like the use of modern language and expressions to explain things to young people.
