You might have noticed my post last month<\/a> about the things that I’ve enjoyed reading. March continued to bring in some interesting things to read, and I produce my normal monthly ‘top ten’. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent book isn’t very good<\/a>. TLDR? In the Creation narrative, is Eve an actor or a prop<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  2. Over at True Freedom Trust Stuart Parker has written\u00a0Am I kidding myself?<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>TLDR? A powerful and profound article about someone who, whilst being same sex attracted, is married to a member of the opposite sex. Well worth reading.<\/li>\n
  3. This interview with Michael McClymond on Universalism<\/a> makes for fascinating reading. TLDR? With quotes like “universalism is the opiate of the theologians<\/em>“, this is essential for people wanting to think theologically about the issues universalism raises.<\/li>\n
  4. VCUKI has started doing books – the best so far is the one for millennials, The Cause to Live For<\/a><\/em>. TLDR? Good book, best read in chunks.<\/li>\n
  5. Is the Vineyard Calvinist or Arminian?<\/a> This article by my friend Luke Geraty is superb. TLDR? This question has more implications than you’d think. Read this.<\/li>\n
  6. Food and hospitality are vital to sharing the Gospel. A new book,\u00a0Simply Eat<\/em><\/a>, shows how and why (Also lots of recipes)<\/li>\n
  7. The Gospel Coalition has a really thought-provoking blog post<\/a> about what it means to believe that Jesus could return at any moment. TLDR? Language matters, and it is worth thinking eschatologically.<\/li>\n
  8. Don Carson’s\u00a0Prophetic from the Centre<\/em> is a good little book. TLDR? Thinking about evangelicalism is hard – remember the Gospel.<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. A friend on Facebook shared this helpful guide<\/a> to working out whether or not trusting any given news story is reasonable. TLDR? Fake News definitely happens, try and be savvy. This shows you how.<\/li>\n
  10. Stephen Kneale has some provocative (and I would argue prophetic) thoughts<\/a> about conversations with Muslims. TLDR? Interfaith is a meaningless word. Read this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
