Penal Substitution

Evangelical Alliance Symposium on Atonement. Read the papers online.
(HT: Ref21).

BeginningWithMoses Advisor, Simon Gathercole on Romans 3:25-26
Garry Williams on Justice, Law & Guilt

Through this I found Dan Strange's lecture on The Cross, which we blogged a while back... The Many-Splendoured Cross: Atonement, Controversy and Victory

Bio: Andy Grundy

Andy's interest in biblical theology was stimulated by a degree in Theology at Nottingham University, and after a year out buffing floors, dusting shelves, and cleaning toilets, he received a scholarship to do postgraduate research at Nottingham. He is working on the narratives which concern Elijah, Elisha, and Jehu in 1 and 2 Kings, and is particularly interested in the important relationship between historical, literary and theological approaches to Holy Scripture. Excursions from the ivory tower include seeking to serve Christ in the Christian Union, the Religious & Theological Studies Fellowship, and married life with Jude. She, at least, thinks that he still looks just as cute.

Andy joins Dave on the UCCF Staff in Autumn 2005.

Back soon...

BeginningWithMoses.org will be alive again soon. Everything is there for your browsing and encouragement. When we return - on September 1st - there should be a selection of new articles and reviews. Soon after that, October 2005 will mark our third birthday!

Behind the scenes we're working on databasing the site, this will make minimal visible difference but will massively improve the usability of the site for you! Essentially it'll help you to search for what you want to find. An added bonus is that it'll help us to update things more easily! This might not be live in September but it'll be with you sometime in the autumn, we hope!

Keep exploring, and do comment your feedback.
What do you find helpful on site?
Which is the most useful article? (and why?)
How can we improve?

Just a Moment

Mo at The Lepreblog is worth checking out. Sharp insights and Irish wit.

Food for Life

Scott writes on Biblical Theology for New Zealand's Younger Generation. And puts it into practice Rehoboam's Folly - 1 Kings 12v1-15. The big question I had when I'd finished Goldsworthy's defining book - Gospel & Kingdom was HOW? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN A SERMON? HOW DO I DO THIS IN MY OWN BIBLE STUDY? Emailing him with that question landed me on the BeginningWithMoses.org Team.... Gotta keep asking the questions though. This stuff is simply too important not to.

"But the thing that broke my heart, is that although these students were thirsty for more I realised that their churches don’t offer this type of food....How will we respond? What will we do to make the message of the Bible known to the next generation? Surely the church today has an amazing opportunity to further God’s kingdom in this way. But what is needed for the task?" (Scott Mackay)

Preaching Group

First Book Groups... now welcome to the Preaching Group - run by a few ex-UCCF Staff by the look of it. See also Steve Palframan's Sermons
Time for you guys to do us some Biblical Theology Briefings methinks.

Globetrotting in the Summer Time

David Gibson is globetrotting doing research for his PhD.
Dave Bish is also quite busy at the moment.
Hence this blog has gone a bit quiet. We will return!

Meanwhile - be reminded - BeginningWithMoses.org is not updated in July or August. But we will be back with avengance in September 2005. Still there are vast quantities of articles to there to keep you busy for now! Get yourself up to date!
