  • How Can One Guy Be Wrong in So Many Ways?
    HOW CAN ONE GUY BE WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS? A Reply to Matthias Media’s Women, Sermons and the Bible: Essays Interacting with John Dickson’s Hearing Her Voice John Dickson August 2014 (This document may be freely copied and distributed) Chapter 1 INITIAL REFLECTIONS I remarked at the conclusion of Hearing her Voice that I hope to receive criticisms of my case for women giving sermons “cheerfully”. With the publication of Matthias Media’s Women, Sermons and the Bible (WSB) I was given the opportunity to test that sentiment. At one level, I read the book with gratitude. It is a compliment, in a roundabout way, to have six authors interact so directly with my argument. But did the critique fill my life with good cheer? Not really. Of course, no criticism is pleasant. In this case, though, my dissatisfaction comes from knowing that WSB does not bring the clarity to this discussion that I hoped it would. 1. Some good arguments This is not to say that there aren’t good insights in WSB, ones that give me pause and have clarified or challenged my thinking. I want to offer a few examples, before turning to what I regard as the clear deficiencies in the project. The book starts well, with the kind of godly affection I would expect from Tony Payne, with whom I have had a long professional and personal association. Matthias Media was the only publisher back in 1991 who thought Hanging in There, my first book, had something salvageable in its pages. Peter Tong's chapter is also surprisingly good.

  • The Week That Changed the World D the World
    The week that changed the world Why is Easter so potent? Surely it is because Easter deals with the most spine-tingling topic possible: death, judgement, and the possibility of surviving them both. “The great tragedy at the heart of Easter, the crucifixion of Jesus as a claimed king or messiah, is attested by Christian and non-Christian sources of the ancient world and is regarded as ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ by all reputable historians today.” Dr John Dickson, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University.
