To accompany the daily Bible texts which appear
in the EDP, our team of Christian writers is now offering commentaries.
We hope everyone will find this area helpful, as it develops over the
weeks into a focus for daily meditations.
For those already familiar with the Bible, we hope
it offers food for thought, and perhaps a new way of looking at the texts.
For those with less experience of reading the Bible, we hope our commentaries
will introduce the texts, and help to make their meaning clearer.
The commentaries are provided by:
June: Biddy Collyer, a regular EDP writer
and a Christian who is passionate about the love of Jesus for everyone
being made real to people through the ministry of His church in Norwich
and Norfolk
June: Fr Antony Sutch, Catholic parish priest at St Benet's,
Beccles, and a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day.
May: Roman Catholic author Anita Dowsing.
April: Jean Larner, a Methodist lay preacher.
