In this episode of Working the Lectionary, for Lent 1, John Bottomley and Brendan Byrne consider how the flood narrative in Genesis is emblematic both of the destructiveness of humanity's construction of work and economy, and also of the graciousness of God who maintains relationship with humankind despite our wrongdoing. For Lent 2, they discus how the centrality in Paul's Letter to the Romans calls us to reconsider how modernity's construction of relationships through the contractual arrangements of work and economy mirror the violence of unjust power, instead of the relational commitment to graciousness and generosity available through covenant.
