Mark The Peoples' Bible Commentary - An Inappropriate Request
by BRF - Dick France
An Inappropriate Request The two ‘Sons of Thunder’ (3:17) have appeared from time to time along with Peter as the small group with whom alone Jesus has shared and will share some of his most private moments (1:29; 5:37; 9:2; 14:33). The three of them with Andrew were the first di…

The Power of the Parable - A Hymn for the Nameless (Part 2)
by SPCK - John Dominic Crossan

by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
The Household Code The author believes that behaviour appropriate to the new life is communal in nature (3:12–15), constituted by Christian worship (3:16–17), and marked by the peace and harmony of the reconciled creation (3:14)…

Mere Apologetics - 2b Apologetics and Postmodernity
by SPCK - Alister McGrath
Apologetics and Postmodernity So what are the core themes of this “postmodernism” of which we are speaking? It has become something of a sacred tradition to begin any reflections on how the church should live and witness in postmodernity with a detailed account of scholarly refle…
