Packer: The latest Christian traumatised communities The holy scholar resources for you Page 2–4 Page 18–21 Page 33–39 We are all in this together ear Anna, Bronwyn, Graham, Margaret, Beverly, Pete, Miriam, Bruce, Angela, Yvonne, Elizabeth, June, Mike, Harold Dand other friends of Bible Society, Eternity and Koorong, Let me first say ‘Thank You.’ I loved all your comments and ideas for a new name for our new combined magazine. Your contributions were fantastic! Sowing for Eternity. Eternal Seed. Beyond. Given. Trinity. However, the overwhelming consensus was to stick with Bible Society Magazine, as that name says it all. So, welcome to Bible Society Magazine issue 2. We will continue fine-tuning the look and feel of the different sections of our magazine. I mentioned in the last edition about our Staff Devotion on Wednesdays. Over the past few weeks I have been leading a series on culture. In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul tells Timothy to ‘hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.’ (NKJV) As I spoke to the Bible Society team across Australia, I painted the picture of a patchwork quilt. All the different squares, different pat- terns, can look mismatched or disjointed up close, but when knitted together they form a magnificent cohesive whole. As Christians we are urged to hold fast to the pattern of words which have been laid down, knitted together, in the Bible and by Christian thinkers, theologians, writers, pastors, leaders, friends, over the centuries since Paul wrote that letter.
