Until the Tide Turns - A poem by David Adam
by SPCK - David Adam/Andy Lindley
A celtic inspired poem by David Adam - using the metaphor of the tide turning to pray into God's presence, and seeming absence of God in life. Rather than challenging the metaphor with the images, they instead amplify it. Designed for use in worship on an overhead projector.

How God Became King - 7b God and Caesar in the Gospels
by SPCK - N T Wright
God and Caesar in the Gospels But, you say, surely Caesar is only mentioned once in the gospels, and there Jesus says that there’s a clear division between God and Caesar, a split of church and state, so that never the twain shall meet…

the historical character of Jesus - 1b Sources for the study of Jesus
by SPCK - David Allen
Sources for the study of Jesus At the outset of our discussion, though, it is probably worth establishing the purpose or value of an exercise such as this. After all, books on Jesus abound, not perhaps to the scale alluded to in John 21.25, but to a significant extent nonetheless…

the historical character of Jesus - 1 Introduction: locating Jesus outside the Gospels
by SPCK - David Allen
Introduction: locating Jesus outside the Gospels It does not take much exposure to Gospels studies, or to biblical scholarship more generally, before one encounters the term ‘historical Jesus’…

the historical character of Jesus - 3 “To know or not to know”: Jesus in Paul
by SPCK - David Allen
“To know or not to know”: Jesus in Paul Whether because of the volume of NT literature attributed to him,1 or whether because his correspondence probably represents the earliest canonical witness to the impact of the Jesus movement, it is unsurprising that one looks to Paul as po…

the historical character of Jesus - 2 “The witnessed one”: Jesus in Acts
by SPCK - David Allen
“The witnessed one”: Jesus in Acts Whatever one’s reason for so doing, the task of engaging with the book of Acts is fraught with interpretative questions. The discourse has two distinct textual traditions – the so-called Western and Alexandrian versions, with not insignificant v…

the historical character of Jesus - 4b Jesus in Ephesians
by SPCK - David Allen
Jesus in Ephesians The close similarity between Ephesians and Colossians is a well-established datum of NT scholarship. Ephesians shares, exceeds even, the emphasis on the exaltedness of Christ in Colossians and his supremacy over rulers, powers and authorities (Eph. 1.20 –23).15…

the historical character of Jesus - 6b James and the Jesus tradition
by SPCK - David Allen
James and the Jesus tradition Were the Jacobean Jesus merely just about locating specific references to Jesus’ name, then even with the most optimistic application of 2.1, we would surely end up with a fairly limited picture, a faint portrait at the very best…

the historical character of Jesus - 9 Conclusion: the canonical Jesus
by SPCK - David Allen
Conclusion: the canonical Jesus In the previous seven chapters, we have focused on the various constituent texts of the New Testament, specifically the non- Gospel material, in an attempt to consider how each text, or group of texts, goes about presenting the figure of Jesus of N…
