Hymn: As Jesus faced his closest friends
by Marjorie Dobson
As Jesus faced his closest friends and asked them,’Who am I?’ ‘You are the Christ, the one who comes,’ was Peter’s sure reply. But Jesus turned to speak to them of torture and of pain and Peter could not bear those words and urged him, ‘turn again.’ Then Peter heard Christ’s shar…

Meeting God in MARK - A lifelong passion - 4
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
A lifelong passion About one-third of St Mark’s Gospel is taken up with the events of the last week of Jesus’ life, the story of Jesus’ betrayal, suffering and death, his ‘Passion’. It’s a very striking proportion, which has led some scholars to describe St Mark as a Passion narr…
God's full and perfect justice
God's full and perfect justice
by Andrew T Murphy
This is a big hymn which asks for a big theory of atonement. 'How does God deal with sin?' This is a question that demands a fuller answer than simply "And on the cross as Jesus died the wrath of God was satisfied". Jesus simply 'taking my punishment' does little to make sense…

Meeting God in Paul - 2d The healing sacrifice
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
The healing sacrifice I spoke in the previous chapter of how in his letter to the Romans Paul is, as it were, turning his head from side to side, saying, ‘You think you’ve got the point? Think again. And [turning rapidly] don’t you imagine that because they haven’t got it, you’re…
