This thesis is about the preaching of the Old Testament in the United Church of Canada. The topic is explored through the researcher's experience and theology and the theological tradition of the church, specifically the United Church of Canada, and using a qualitative research methodology. The specifics of the process involve a preacher basing his sermons on the Old Testament Lectionary texts for four weeks of the Epiphany season. Both the preacher and the congregation then reflect, through written and verbal responses, on the experience. The researcher's assumption prior to the thesis work was that the Old Testament is not being preached often or well enough in the United Church of Canada, and the data collected validates the assumption. The thesis then concluded with a discussion of the factors contributing to that lack in Old Testament preaching in the United Church of Canada and some future possibilities for change and transformation.
