      The Bible in 5 minutes: Users' manual

      The Christian Bible is a big sprawling collection of documents from widely different time periods (roughly the end of the Bronze Age to the Roman empire) in many different genres (as different as history and love poems, or proverbs and lengthy letters) composed in three languages and two different writing systems. To make matters worse most Bibles do not “work” the same as other books. Page numbers do not help in identifying sections because they differ in most of the myriad different translat...

      Finding Bible commentaries (and the section you ...

      I'm marking again. Every time I mark an assignment there are distant students who could have got better marks if they had used a decent scholarly commentary or two, to supplement whatever they, their aunt Jemima (who did a course at Capenwray in the 1960s) or their pastor happen to have. Time and again I tell them, so now I'm telling you, the secret of a massive theological library that offers (at least) several good solid recent commentaries (in stock when you go to look for them) ((And with ...

      Refugees are people too :)

      Choir practice in the refugee camp. This little glimpse of real people enjoying real lives is so encouraging. They love God and they love each other, and they love to sing. Remembering that many of the young people have been in the camp as long as they can remember is so sad. Realising how little most of the world cares that their country's "government" seems determined to commit ethnic cleansing of the tribal minorities is even sadder.

      Often those who love (or who hate) the Bible abuse it. Sects seem able to "prove" anything they like from the Bible, yet a few simple rules can protect us from Bible abuse.After explaining why Bible abuse matters this screencast presents three of the most important principles:1. Read the Bible like Jesus (Mat 5:17ff.)2. A text without context is dumb! (Luke 14:16-24)3. The Bible is perspicuous
