Jesus changes Lives
by Audrey Hogan
"Jesus changes lives", was written as a talk / homily and was given at a small church service. However I thought that others might enjoy reading it in transcript form. The subject is the healing of blind Bartimaus and Zachius' calling and conversion. Written by Audrey Hogan Extra…
Poem - The day we climbed the mountain
Poem - The day we climbed the mountain
by Colin Smith
The Day we climbed the mountain. This poem was written as a bit of fun to support an All Age worship service. Although the mountain which is referred to is Kinder Scout, in the Peak District of Derbyshire, the name of any local mountain can be used instead. The theme was “Finding…

the historical character of Jesus - 2d The story of Jesus in Acts
by SPCK - David Allen
The story of Jesus in Acts But does Acts have anything more explicit about Jesus himself? If Acts disavows the need to root the Church’s practice and self-understanding in explicit appeal to Jesus’ teaching, are there other ways in which Jesus is remembered in its retelling of th…

the historical character of Jesus - 3c Paul’s ‘use’ of Jesus’ teaching
by SPCK - David Allen
Paul’s ‘use’ of Jesus’ teaching As well as the incidental references to Jesus’ life, Paul also cites Jesus logia, or at least claims to do so, at several points within his letters (and most notably within the Corinthian correspondence)…

the historical character of Jesus - 5b Identity: Jesus – the heavenly high priest
by SPCK - David Allen
Identity: Jesus – the heavenly high priest While recognizing this continuity between the earthly Jesus and the exalted Son,15 it is heuristically convenient to distinguish the respective portraits within the letter…

the historical character of Jesus - 8b Jesus in 2 and 3 John
by SPCK - David Allen
“The apocalyptic Son of Man”: Jesus in the Johannine letters and Revelation The other two Johannine epistles have much less to say about Jesus. As I have noted, 3 John is effectively silent on the subject, but the second epistle is slightly more forthcoming. It identifies Jesus a…

the historical character of Jesus - 7b Jesus in Jude
by SPCK - David Allen
Jesus in Jude Formerly described as the ‘most neglected book of the New Testament’,19 attention to Jude in recent years has demonstrated how its intricate appropriation and usage of Old Testament and pseudepigraphical material actually warrants no such lack of neglect…

The Women's Bible Commentary - A Textual Interlude: Scribes, Pharisees and Women
by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
A Textual Interlude: Scribes, Pharisees and Women The story traditionally known as “the Woman Taken in Adultery” has a complicated textual history. The passage is missing from the earliest Greek manuscripts of John…

journeying with John - 7 Pentecost He breathed on them
by SPCK - Woodward, Gooder and Pryce
7 Pentecost He breathed on them As we have noted on more than one occasion, the equivalent of the Acts account of Pentecost occurs in John’s Gospel in 20.19 –23. So far in this book we taken the resurrection passages out of order because of the way the Christian year falls…

Parallel Lives of Jesus - 4b Jerusalem, Passion, and Resurrection (21:1–28:20)
by SPCK - Edward Adams
Jerusalem, Passion, and Resurrection (21:1–28:20) Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem signals the beginning of the end. He enters the holy city in a kingly fashion (21:1–11), recalling the identification of Jesus as “king of the Jews” in the birth narrative (2:2) and pointing forward to …
