'This announcement isn't just for the nerds, ok?'
Please. It's a Bible College.
Two high points from this last week or so...
- Read. Holiness, by John Webster.
- Write. Today I handed in an exegetical paper, which is like writing a bit of commentary on a passage of the Bible (i.e. what's this bit of the Bible on about, in its context). The paper was on Psalm 96. For some reason I didn't really like what I came up with much at all. I'm glad it's finished.

Hi Nick,
What's your Ethics text book?
Hi Seth (!),
Hmmm. We have several substantial set readings. But I think the short answer is:
Michael Hill, The How and Why of Love - a great book, in my opinion.
There are several others:
- Kyle Fedler's Exploring Christian Ethics is very introductory.
- Christopher Ash, Marriage is excellent.
- Gilbert Meilander, Bioethics, which I've not read.
- Brian Rosner, Greed as Idolatry, which is quite good, but lengthy for what it says.
We read a bit of O'Donovan, but not heaps. His influence in Hill is, however, pretty obvious.
Sorry Bernard,
Good call. Thanks for the recommendations.
