Gareth continues to address my opening salvo on the CU question. Which is nice. This time he asks whether Christian Unions should make disciples.
For my commentry here I’ll just reproduce the comment I left under his post:
Interesting. And mean for doing it when I was on holiday.
I think you correctly diagnose my ecclesiology. I think […]
I’m closing down for the Christmas period, which I’ll be spending with my Parents in Southampton. I might whack something I have saved up before New Year, but I’m not making promises. If you’ve been reading for a while you might have learnt that my “I’ll write this then” promises aren’t really worth the (metaphorical) […]
Luke Wood reveals the new name of the brand new Newfrontiers church plant launching in Southampton come April!
Life Church Southampton. Look at Luke’s blog for more news etc - I’m sure when he moves down to join them he’ll tell us all about it!
Dear N. T. Wright is at the very least an interesting evangelical voice against the new covenant thing that the evangelical Anglicans are currently throwing about. I’m afriad I don’t have a simple overview of the story to link if you haven’t been following it at all.
Read his analysis here.
Gareth has started blogging in reply! He has a well written post on who exactly students are going to be witnessing too. What is the student mission field?

James Dunn on E.P. Sanders; that is to say, the guy who coined the phrase the ‘New Perspective’ on the guy who kicked it all into gear:

In my recent post on Nottingham University Christian Union’s regular Friday night meeting, ‘Equip,’ I made some comments about preaching that I think were really poorly phrased, due to the level of misunderstanding of what I personally think that they’ve caused. This could well be because they really don’t say what I wanted to, or […]
The Calvinist has said, and said right bravely, that salvation is of grace alone; and the Arminian has said, and said most truthfully, that damnation is of man’s will alone, and as the result of man’s sin, and of that only. Then they have fallen out with one another. The fact is, they had each […]
1. And here observe, That whatever in Christ had the nature of satisifaction, was by virtue of the suffering or humiliation that was in it; but whatever had the nature of merit, was by virtue of the obedience or righteousness there was in it. The satisfaction of Christ consists in his answering the demands of […]
I wish to respond briefly to my critics. By ‘critics’ I mean my loving friends and co-heirs in Christ who have raised questions about some things I have argued recently. This is the first of 2 posts of that ilk. I’m only intending to either clarify myself or correct myself - as opposed to responding […]
