Did the Father turn his face away? Part 2
May 29, 2014
Just over three years ago (in the same month of May) I wrote a post which has received some of the heaviest traffic on this blog, perhaps barring one on the correct interpretation of Revelation 19:10. I can’t explain the popularity of the latter, but for the former I think I can have a go. … More Did the Father turn his face away? Part 2

Singing “Our God reigns” in a world of genocide
April 7, 2014
We seem to have a tendency in modern worship songs to want to write simple statements like “God, you’re so good,” or “Your love is so vast” or something – statements that try to capture how big and how wonderful this love of our God is as we’ve discovered it. Often though, if you’re anything like … More Singing “Our God reigns” in a world of genocide
What Tom Wright Really Said
April 1, 2014
…about What St Paul Really Said (hereafter WSPRS). I finished reading Tom Wright’s popular-level WSPRS last night. One of the points I found most delightful and helpful was how Paul’s exploration of God as Trinity (or at least some kind of plurality) didn’t take place over against Jewish monotheism or as playing into the hands of multi-deistic paganism, but … More What Tom Wright Really Said

The Trinity
March 14, 2014
This week Melvyn Bragg’s show on BBC Radio 4 In Our Time discussed The Trinity. If you’re anything like me and you enjoy a bit of history and theology, this is one not to miss. It offers a great historical introduction to the topic but advances quite far (as far as it can in 45 minutes) down … More The Trinity
2013: Music I discovered last year
January 22, 2014
As readers will know, last year I released my second EP Invitation, and was very involved with two other big releases from our church – an album of live worship, and an album of Christmas Gospel arrangements. These were exciting projects, and the EP especially pushed me to be expanding my listening and assessment of … More 2013: Music I discovered last year
Bible Study – How Do You Do It?
January 6, 2014
So at the beginning of this new year, as I think ahead to how I would like to grow in understanding the Bible and applying it to life, I have a question: what system and tools do you readers find most helpful for studying the Bible? For some, a wide-margin edition for note-taking is indispensable. … More Bible Study – How Do You Do It?
The Children’s Gospel
December 23, 2013
I’ve just blogged about Justin Brierley’s show on Premier Radio, ‘Unbelievable‘, so forgive me for continuing to riff on the same material (ie. things other people say rather than my own thoughts), but I caught up with the latest episode via podcast, this time asking “Was Jesus just a Rabbi?” (Click to listen) This is … More The Children’s Gospel
