Early Quaker Christology
by Woodbrooke - Maurise Creasey, Andrew Harvey
Creasey argues that the concept of the ‘inner light’ must be understood in Christological terms, but also that traditional Christological formulas are less valuable than knowing Christ experimentally; and that Christ the Light is redemptively active throughout creation: the Incar…

Gazing on the Gospels year c - The Sixth Sunday of Easter Year C
by SPCK - Judith Dimond
The Sixth Sunday of Easter John 14.23-29 Gaze on John, frowning with concentration as Jesus continues to deliver his lengthy ‘farewell’. He is straining to remember it all, and to understand how all the twists and turns build into the overarching vindication of God’s purpose in J…

Mark The Peoples' Bible Commentary - Partners in Mission
by BRF - Dick France
Partners in Mission Mark has barely begun his account of Jesus’ mission when he tells us that Jesus called others to share it with him. All through the Gospel from this point he will tell not merely the story of Jesus, but the story of Jesus and his disciples, as a team. Jesus, w…

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 25:1, 16-17
