Over
the years this blog has been a place for gathering thoughts, practicing
writing, and carrying on conversations. While blogging here I've been a pastor, a student, and a teacher. (For a time I also blogged at Theology Out of Bounds with some office mates from College Bounds in Aberdeen.)
I never consider anything here to be the final word, and it should go without saying but the opinions shared here are (or were) my own. Feel
free to browse and share from the curated archive, citing appropriately
if you use anything, but keep in mind that my views were 'live' and may
now be somewhat dated. And check ratings before you see any movies, I'm
not recommending everything.
In recent years my writing efforts have been geared toward teaching and publishing. In 2013 I completed a PhD thesis under the supervision of John Webster about forgiveness and the church in Karl Barth’s Doctrine of Reconciliation. It was published by IVP in 2016 My most recent book, a Studyguide on Church Leadership, is available from SCM (click here to buy from Canada).
I have interests in writing and speaking on a wide variety of topics
including church and pastoral theology, forgiveness and reconciliation,
gender and sexuality, film and fiction, and the works of Barth,
Bonhoeffer, and Chesterton.
