In mid-November 2016, I started following along with the weekly lectionary readings in my German New Testament (along with Psalms and Proverbs). It was an opportune time to start doing this because a few weeks later, the church year started over and series A began. Although I think I missed a few weeks here and there, for the most part, I've been following along since then. At first, I lookt up the appointed readings in my
Lutheran Study Bible and my German New Testament, but then I found it was much easier simply to look over the German text while listening to the weekly readings on
Worship Anew.
Even in just these past few years of reading the Bible in German (and studying the original Hebrew and Greek via
The Daily Dose of Hebrew and
The Daily Dose of Greek), I've noticed a number of interesting features, so I started this blog mostly as a personal record of these things.
The title (The Footlamp) is adapted from Psalm 119:105, which is my confirmation verse: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
