On this site, you can read about, comment on and contribute to my ongoing reflections as I wrestle with questions about God, Faith, Life, The Bible, Church and Theology.
All in Charismatic
The decision of the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 is a significant and highly contested passage which is often used to argue for certain ethical freedoms and prohibitions in the modern Church. In this paper I explore the nature of this enigmatic passage and argue for how it should and should not be interpreted and used by the Church today.
Before writing this paper I’d never considered the unique and distinctive pneumatological perspectives of the different biblical authors. Here I explore the charismatic nature of Lucan theology, considering the relationship between Christ and the Spirit within Luke’s gospel and the potential implications that has for discipleship today.
This essay formed part of my MA module on Paul. It was the starting point of my exploration into the work of Michael Gorman and the concept of Cruciformity. I can honestly say I’ve never been the same since writing this paper.
