CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1b Responsibility for creation
CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1b Responsibility for creation
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Responsibility for creation It is a rather different reading of the biblical tradition from that often (lazily) assumed to be the orthodoxy of Judaeo-Christian belief. We hear regularly that this tradition authorizes the exploitation of the earth through the language in Genesis a…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1c An intelligent response to environmental crisis
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
An intelligent response to environmental crisis The ecological crisis challenges us to be reasonable. Put like that, it sounds banal; but given the level of irrationality around the question, it is well worth saying, especially if we are clear about the roots of reasoning in thes…
Meeting God in Paul - Introduction
Meeting God in Paul - Introduction
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
Introduction Trying to write a very short book about St Paul feels a bit risky: from the early centuries of the Christian Church until now, the great minds of Christianity have worked out their thoughts in lengthy and impassioned dialogue with Paul’s letters, and the quantity and…

Meeting God in Paul - 1 Outsiders and insiders: Paul’s social world
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
Outsiders and insiders:Paul’s social world When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order ‘Release those men.’ The jailer reported these instructions to Paul: ‘The magistrates have sent an order for your release. Now you are free to go in peace.’ But Paul …

The Lion's World - 3 - Not a tame lion
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
Not a tame lion The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe carefully prepares the way for Aslan’s appearance. When in Chapter 7 Mr Beaver confides ‘in a low whisper’ that ‘They say Aslan is on the move’ (p. 141), we are given a glimpse of what is instantly evoked by the name for the ch…

The Lion's World - 6 - Bigger inside than outside
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
Bigger inside than outside It’s – it’s a magic wardrobe. There’s a wood inside it, and it’s snowing, and there’s a Faun and a Witch and it’s called Narnia; come and see. ( The Lion Ch. 3 , p. 120) Lucy’s summary of the mystery introduces us to the image that will recur at the end…

The Third Sunday of Advent Isaiah 61.1–4, 8–11 1 Thessalonians 5.16–24 John 1.6–8, 19–28 So at last, after weeks of foreboding, of warnings that the coming of the Lord is not something to take lightly or to meet with unprepared, now at last the excitement begins to mount. First o…

Proper 8 Wisdom of Solomon 1-13-15; 2: 23, 24 2 Corinthians 8:7-15 Mark 5: 21-43 ‘Do not fear, only believe,’ Jesus says to Jairus. It’s easier said than done, of course, with his daughter dead and the house full of the sound of wailing mourners. It’s also quite ironic, in that i…

by SPCK - Jane Williams
Proper 6 Ezekiel 17: 22-24 2 Corinthians 5: 6-17 Mark 4: 26-34 Paul’s argument in this section of 2 Corinthians is complex and far- reaching. He is putting forward a whole new theory of reality and knowledge. Christians, he argues, carry their own reality system around with them,…
