Here are a few of the things I read and enjoyed last month!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The New Statesman ran a provocative article about how Coronavirus is history-changing<\/a>. TLDR? Change happens. Humans are not invincible. The EU might be over.<\/li>\n
  2. Lucy Peppiatt’s\u00a0Rediscovering Scripture’s Vision for Women<\/em> is brilliant. TLDR? An excellent short case for ‘egalitarianism’.<\/li>\n
  3. Natalie Collins has a powerful article for CEASE<\/a> about pornography, violence and abuse at the present time. TLDR? The Coronavirus crisis reveals human sin.<\/li>\n
  4. Eugene Peterson’s\u00a0A Long Obedience in the Same Direction<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is a modern classic for a reason. TLDR? Read this book at this time!<\/li>\n
  5. Sharon Hastings wrote a poignant piece for Christian Today<\/a> about suffering and God’s sovereignty. TLDR? Read this, from the excellent author of\u00a0Wrestling With My Thoughts<\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Matthew Barrett’s\u00a0None Greater<\/em>. TLDR? A great book about God. You need to read it!<\/li>\n
  7. Over at Theos, Nick Spencer has a good question about Clapping for the NHS<\/a>: Our New Religion? TLDR? We need to be careful of idolatry, because we are human.<\/li>\n
  8. Wright and Bird’s\u00a0The New Testament in it’s World<\/em>. TLDR? Seriously long, but seriously helpful.<\/li>\n
  9. Brett Gray wrote an excellent blog for SCM about God<\/a>‘s sovereignty. TLDR? Super, super stuff. Real Calvinism.<\/li>\n
  10. John Starke’s superb\u00a0The Possibility of Prayer<\/em> is a new book on prayer.<\/a> TLDR? This one is\u00a0really<\/strong> good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And a bonus, because I’m SO EXCITED about it – I’ve worked on something recently, and you can read about it in this post about three books for our Coronavirus time<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
