The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

Almighty God, who hast given thy only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin and also an example of godly life: Give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his inestimable benefit, and also daily endeavor ourselves to follow the blessed steps of his most holy life; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 15)

At right: King David in the Incarnation Window of Saint Thomas Church.

Beginning June 10 and extending on Sunday mornings throughout the summer, Fr Austin guides us through the First and Second Books of Samuel. Fr Austin recommends Robert Alter’s The David Story, which is a translation with commentary by that notable literary scholar. He also recommends a commentary by Francesca Aran Murphy on First Samuel in the Brazos series of theological commentaries. However, you don’t need to read either book to enjoy the class. Bibles are provided. Simply show up for any or all class sessions.
