Book Review: Progress
I’m fortunate enough (Having worked for a publisher and having friends who work at publishers!) that I don’t have to buy too many new books to build up my ‘to read’ pile, but when I do, it means it needs to … Continued
Some Theological Thoughts from 2018
From time to time I’m fortunate to be in spaces and places that I find simultaneously very enjoyably and utterly terrifying. Other times, I find myself at academic theological conferences, of various kinds, presenting papers. I’m keen to keep my … Continued
Book Review: A War of Loves
Committed and regular readers will know that, alongside other topics (like being human, prayer, and aging) I have read quite widely and deeply about human sexuality and the relationship between that and Christian Spirituality. So, when I heard a fragment … Continued

Having read the 500+ pages of Laurence Rees sobering book on one of the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity, it seems in someways churlish to write a review. This has been the first book that I’ve read on … Continued
