Most newsletters keep the scholar and the preacher in separate rooms.
On the Way doesn’t.
I’m Fr. J. Michael Strachan — rector of St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church in Largo, Florida, and a scholar of the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament (Ph.D., Marquette University, 2022). The biblical scholarship doesn’t stay in the study. It extends into the pulpit and then into the church service: the Greek words, the intertextual allusions, the Old Testament passages that Jesus and the apostles referenced, and the narrative threads that run from Genesis to Revelation, surfacing on Sunday morning.
On the Way is where that work lives between Sundays.
Each week, I publish the full text of my sermon alongside essays and reflections on the biblical text, the church year, and the life of faith. The writing is shaped by the Anglican lectionary and twenty years of learning to read Scripture carefully, but visitors from every tradition are welcome here.
On the Way is free to read. If this work matters to you, a paid subscription is how you show support. Paid subscribers also gain access to the full archive and, sometimes, essays and deeper dives that go beyond the Sunday sermon — writing that doesn’t fit the pulpit but belongs somewhere.
