I am the Torah reader for a Messianic Congregation. Is there any plan to include a reading schedule to coincide with the weekly Parasha?
Paul,
Make contact with Phil Gons - pgons (at) logos.com. He should be able to put you in contact with someone to help organise such a lectionary...
Damian,
How do I contact him?
That was his email address - disguised to stop spammers scraping the site:

thanks, I should have figured that out.

I'm close to finished with a spreadsheet of data that Logos may use if they want. It contains:
Anything you think I'm missing? Yes, I know I can't include every possible permuation but I am trying to be useful to a wide swath.

That looks very ambitious and very useful. How soon before you could get that user - ready? Is is already in some other form that might be made available to other MJ Congs?
Shalom

The non-bold items and the under-copyright Messianic readings are in Excel but not proof-read. I'm am also working on some historical Lutheran lections with morning/evening prayer readings. As to when they will be available, I don't know. Logos 4 do not currently provide for user generated data and, as you may have seen, Logos has expressed an interest. We simply have to wait and see how timing works out. Logos has committed to a fair amount of added features in the first 2 quarters of next year.
One thing you want to add is the special reading for holidays.

You are absolutely correct; I don't know why it didn't occur to me when I made the original list. I do have much of the material for it.
Let me know if I can help. It sounds like it will take a while but I'd be glad to help. Most of my material in hard copy, TIkkun, etc. But I would be glad to assist the project.
Thank you. I have left you a message on your Logos page (just click on your name) with my email adress.
I sent an e-mail to you yesterday. Let me know if you need help with the Holiday readings.
This sounds very interesting; today I use an appendix in "The Complete Jewish Bible" by David Stern, having this in Logos would be wonderful.
BTW - Logos has the Jewish New Testament and the Jewish New Testament commentary - not sure why they did not complete the set and add in the Complete Jewish Bible?

I am one who would.
Has their been any forward movement to this? There are an ever-increasing number of Christians who are reading the Torah portions alongside Judaism. We've been doing it for over 10 years now. I would really like to see this integrated. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help get this going. Thanks!

Wow! That sounds interesting! Do you have anything more on this while we wait for Logos? A web link? A book title? Or at least the scholar's name?

Is there a reason you would not wish to use the traditional parasha? Here is a site which has a listing

If you are looking for NT readings to coincide with the parasha, I would suggest checking a lectionary to see what is used with them. Unfortunately, it appears that today's reading is Ex 27.20-30.10 which doesn't seem to appear in either the Catholic Lectionary or the RCL. In such cases it may be necessary to supply your own gospel and other readings to go with the Torah readings such as Mt 5.13-16. For the robes in this passage it might be appropriate to read something like Re 3.14-22.
