Final Call for Saturday 27th teaching, Lancaster, UK: "The Philippians Christ Hymn and Paul’s Mission Methods" eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-philippi… @Eventbrite

Imagine this being core to pastoral formation. Social media *discussions* might look different: “I wish you to prepare for yourself no other way of seizing and holding the truth than that which has been prepared by [God]…in that way the first part is humility; the second,

Tracey Thorn & Ben Watt. Apocalpytic theologians for our time.

Looking forward to BNTC 2024. My paper: Philippians written in Ephesus w/ many points of debt to Fourth Gospel. Teeing up GVK plenary. bnts.org.uk/johannine-lite…

This once a wild + dangerous view (when I 1st started to think it); now not so crazy; soon what all accept.

PS to Divine Heartset: Hesychius' C5th lexicon says ἐρᾶσαι = κενῶσαι “to empty ”. Yet more reason Phil 2:6 = “Christ poured himself out IN LOVE," the opposite of erotic violence (ἁρπαγμός)

Annalisa Philips Wilson will be speaking today, 4pm (UK time) on ‘Corinthian Wives: Reassessing the Slogan of 1 Cor 7.1b’ at the Gloucestershire ICBI Research Seminar. DM me if you would like to join.

Just as hurt people tend to hurt people, so dishonoured people tend to dishonour people.

I'll be speaking at the Gloucester Uni. research seminar next Wednesday (30th April), 4:00-5:30 UK time, on "Israel’s High Priest as Divine Cult Statue: The Principal Arguments for the Case". DM me if you fancy joining online.
