Wisdom Embodied | Visual Resources for Both Lectionaries on July 30, 2023
This post offers visual resources for the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary for July 30, 2023. The RCL is continuing a mini-series in the Parables of Jesus, along with a look at the wisdom of Solomon in 1 Kings and the continuation of Genesis and Romans. The NL is continuing Proverbs this week and pulls from John 8 for the Gospel reading.
Drawing Paul in Athens from Acts 17
Watch the live art session where I work on the pencils for page 29 in A Cartoonist’s Guide to Acts. Paul is in Athens in Acts 17.
Proverbs and Parables
The NL pairs Proverbs 1:1-7; 3:1-8 with Matthew 13–the parables of Jesus–for the readings on July 23. This makes sense, since Jesus’ parables function in a very similar way to the Hebrew proverbs.
The Wisdom of Parables | Visual Resources for Both Lectionaries on July 23, 2023
This post offers visual resources for the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary for July 23, 2023. We have a rare convergence of the Gospel texts this week as both lectionaries take us to Matthew 13. The RCL is continuing a mini-series in the Parables of Jesus and the NL is introducing the Proverbs this week and Jesus’ parables make a nice Gospel reading complement.
Drawing the Philippian Jailer in Acts 16
We had fun on Thursday during the livestream session. I was able to do the rough pencils for page 26 of A Cartoonist’s Guide to Acts. This is a quick recap of the drawing session. Join me each Thursday at 2:00pm CST as I work my way through this project.
