Meeting God in Paul - 3c Living in the new creation
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
Living in the new creation In 2 Corinthians 5.17, Paul says that to be baptized in commitment to Jesus is to become or to be involved in a ‘new creation’. Everything is beginning again because the real universe (as distinct from the fantasy world of our fear, selfishness, greed, …

the historical character of Jesus - 5 “The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews
by SPCK - David Allen
“The sacrificial high priest”: Jesus in Hebrews In many ways, the ambience or ‘feel’ of Hebrews is fundamentally different from that of the rest of the NT, making it ‘almost certainly the most mysterious text to have been preserved in the NT canon’.1 Its focus on sacrifice, new c…

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…

Mere Apologetics - 5d Making Sense of Things: A Case Study
by SPCK - Alister McGrath
Making Sense of Things: A Case Study To explore this further, we shall consider how effective the Christian way of seeing things is at making sense of what we observe. How good is the fit between theory and observation? So how can we make sense of the shape of history and the dis…

The Women's Bible Commentary - The Violation of Earth and Zion
by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
The Violation of Earth and Zion The author foregrounds the story of the Maccabees’ rebellion against the Seleucids with the exploits of Alexander the Great (ca. 333 BCE; 1:1–4). The taut narrative links Antiochus IV to Alexander and his immediate successors, who are condemned as …

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…
