The publication of my next blog post on Romans 8, is due to be published later this week. It would be good if you could read through Romans ch. 1-3, in the meantime. I read through them over the weekend, because I am working on Romans 8. It did me the world of good! Such mighty doctrine – up to the climax of ch. 3,23-25! And great background when looking at ch. 8,3-4. Kđ

April) through to Easter Sunday (12th. April). It will be a word of encouragement with a word of Scripture. I will generally…
I have taken a break from my blog – no writing either in January or February. My plan is now to publish posts again with perhaps a frequency of one a week. We will see. In a bid to make what I publish more accessible, I will endeavour to publish an audio file for each post, and hope that will make it easier for Norwegian readers! As is apparent from the last three posts published today! I will also add…
In a few days I will publish my first texts on the prologue of Matthew´s Gospel, chapters 1-2. They will contain informed comment and also theological reflection. It is good that understanding increases – study is profitable. In the last analysis though, there remains mystery – a wonderful mystery! It has to be so! For in the last analysis, these stories (in Matthew and Luke) are the record of how God became man – how the reality of God broke in upon the finite reality that is…
I am currently working on material for the season of Advent. I want to write texts drawing on, and focussing on the rich biblical material to do with the birth of the Christ. The first text will be about the Messiah. Then will follow texts on Matthew and Lukeâs birth narrative, ending with John 1 – the Word made flesh. All these with some relevant OT background material. I think it is important for us to revisit this material at…
