Many scriptural and theological topics are possible, especially those related to the Liturgical Seasons and/or the Lectionary Year. For example, a focus on the Gospel of John would be especially appropriate during the Lent or Easter Seasons; the Gospel Passion Narratives would be helpful in preparing for Holy Week, while exploring the Acts of the Apostles would be more appropriate during the weeks of Easter.
