The People’s Commentary is bringing biblical commentary back to the people, for the sake of our common life. In each season, a different group of people will provide commentary on one book from the bible through the lens of their relevant lived experiences. We know there is a group of young progressives trying to figure out a way to have faith that doesn't necessarily look like the faith of their parents, and we are making space for regular people — especially marginalized groups and unheard voices — to engage with the history of the church and view the scripture in a way that is relevant to their own lives, without needing to go to seminary to contribute.
