After my (slightly late) roundup of what I read in September, I’ve got what I read in October ready to go…
-
- A great blog post over at the Good Book Company, ‘When Depression Makes Church So Hard‘. TLDR: Read this to help understand why people wrestling with depression and other mental illnesses might find church difficult. It resonated with my experiences.
- Andrew Wilson on on ‘are Ethics non-essential?‘ TLDR: What we believe is important, and so is what we do. Recommended read.
- So Great a Salvation: Soteriology in the Majority World. TLDR? This book advances the convesration on what the Gospel is and does, and also introduces some brilliant majority world theologians and perspectives.
- Peter Tatchell, ‘Ashers ‘gay cake’ verdict is a victory for freedom of expression‘. TLDR: A fascinating take, that I agree with, on a legal controversy by a leading Gay Rights Campaigner.
- At Premier, a great review and reflection of/on the recent BBC Documentary on Christians Against Poverty.
- At UCCF’s BeThinking blog, David Instone-Brewer has a genuinely helpful series on ‘Bible Scandals’. The post on Prostitutes is particularly good.
- Travel by Peter Grier. TLDR? This book is actually something genuinely new, and I’d hope that it gets a wide reading.
- Ian Paul wonders where The Cross is in the Book of Revelation. TLDR? Read this.
- Good News: National Witness? by Tom Wright. TLDR? Great lecture for Fulcrum by one of the worlds most prolific Christian thinkers.
- Not a read but a short watch – Milton Jones on why Christianity is weird:
