Today in class I found quite a few websites I did not know existed until now. I personally have found Textweek, Working Preacher, Progressive Theology.org and Sermonspice to be the most helpful.
The commentaries I've read and liked were both from links I found on Textweek-one of which is on Working Preacher. I was drawn to a commentary that points out that Thomas is not "really" doubting, but is instead making a conditional statement...an if/then statement, really." If I see, then I will believe" I will most likely be looking more closely at this commentary amongst others as I prepare my sermon on the John 20:24-31. For as much as I've struggled with Greek, it amazes me that it's the first thing I look at when "sermonizing" on a text!!!!
I also love that as I'm going through the commentaries and thinking of lets say a movie clip or song, I can refer to sites like Sermonspice to see what others have done with the text via videoclips and music.
I continue digging in...we'll see where the internet and the Holy Spirit take me as I prepare this sermon...
