Hey Andy (or Eleanor) when you get back tell me what you think of Bishop Tom Wright (That's Bishop of Durham, N.T. Wright)...I'm reading surprised by hope...it's certainly raise a few (who am I kidding) a lot of questions.
I don't go for N T Wright as a theologian personally because so far as I understand him he holds that the Jewish covenant ended when Christ came. So there's no meeting point there of our minds really, and his view of covenant permeates his whole theology.
Its great to read theology though, and keep reading, and keep your mind open. Listen to the scholars who present their different understandings (within the parameters of accepting the basic creeds of Christian faith) and anything that challenges us to think more deeply and clearly is good! It is worth looking at how each views works out in practice when lived out, and that can give a good perspective.
Just stepped off the world for four days and it was great. Logged off the computer at 5.50am Saturday morning, then drove the car home. For next 4 days didn't touch either of them
Good to be back though and fellowshipping with friends
Have a great day everyone
God Bless

Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender. --A. W. Tozer

For those fortunate enough nmot to have to work it, I hope you have a great weekend off
For those of us who do have to work, I hope your bosses have a great weekend off (the only upside of working a weekend is that the boss often doesn't)
For those who ARE the boss.............God Bless you
Have a great day everyone. God Bless
