Humanising Faith

This talk finishes our study of Hebrews by fitting the famous chapter on Faith - chapter 11 - into the overall argument of the book. This humanises faith and takes it out of its religious connotations. We finish the talk with a grand architecture of the entire book as a massive chiastic structure. This structure helps up hold the entire argument in the palm of our hand - and it reinforces the epic superiority of Jesus to all of law and religion.

The breathtaking Patristic vision of resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15

If the scripture is like a land of hills and valleys, then 1 Corinthians 15: 22-28 was the Mount Everest of the terrain. Or so thought Origen and Gregory of Nyssa, according to Ilaria Ramelli.

Robin Parry's journey to universal salvation

Robin has led the vanguard for universal salvation since the publication of his landmark book in 2006 “The Evangelical Universalist” which probably did what no other book had quite done in the modern era - it put universalism on the table as a genuine option in the gospel not as a heresy.

Sarah Golsby-Smith

A Christmas gift from Sarah on teaching and the incarnation

In this piece, Sarah reflects on her year of teaching and finds in that experience a touch of wonder - wonder at the privilege of helping young human beings flourish. She sees these young students as vessels of grace, made in God’s image and at Christmas, as echoes of the ultimate image of God - Christ.

Different journeys to universal salvation

On our last episode Ilaria explained her half of the twin books on A Larger Hope which was the early church. Robin Parry wrote the other half which was about more recent history. Fortuitously we found a great video Robin did highlighting some of these experiences of how prominent theologians and pastors ‘changed their minds’ and embraced the doctrine that God in the end will be ‘all and in all’.
