One of the best resources for this sort of material (preaching / worship) is
Jenee Woodard's www.textweek.com
She provides HEAPS of links, based on the Revised common lectionary 3 year
cycle. If you preach regularly, or take some interest in Christian resources on
the Web, this is worth subscribing to. And its free!!

>I've been exegeting Luke 2:1-5 for reasons you may be able to guess.
>One Dutch writer, B. Holwerda, speaks about the worship of the emperor
>and says that because Augustus brought peace to the Empire he was
>greeted as the "Saviour" who descended from heaven and who would ascend
>to heaven again. Could any of you point me to source material which

>Holwerda does refer to a "kalenderinschrift" from Priene (9 BC) which
>refers to Augustus as "God" and speaks of his "gospel" and indicates a
>desire to have the calendar start with Augustus's birthday. Where might
>I find a copy of that inscription? (Or could someone copy it and send
>it to me?)

>This question isn't about Greek grammar, I realize, so could you please
>send responses off list. Thanks!
