Reinterpreting the Law, Violence and Nationalism of the OT
The law of the OT was intended to serve a negative object lesson. This finds its clearest expression in Paul.

A Dialogue with Derek Flood: Is the Bible Infallible?
I’m happy to see that Derek Flood has responded to my four part review of his book, Disarming Scripture. His response—and, I trust, this reply to his response—models how kingdom people can strongly disagree on issues without becoming acrimonious. And I am in full agreement with Derek that our shared conviction regarding the centrality of…
