Some years ago I wrote a blogpost 'Was the rich young ruler actually Saul of Tarsus?' It is one of my most-viewed blogposts to date and some people have commented on it, but without reading the Bible commentary that could be downloaded from the blogpost.

BBC shows My Scientology Movie
BBC 2 showed Louis Theroux's 2015 documentary My Scientology Movie last night. It demonstrates yet another example of the cynical manipulation of mankind's religious conscience. It is but one of many examples. Theroux could not understand how intelligent, apparently normal, kind, well-meaning people, and Tom Cruise is one of the most high-profile scientologists, could be …
Christian scribes
I am a scribe but not a Pharisee – that is, I am a Christian scribe. In Jesus' day, the scribes and Pharisees were opposed to His teaching.

Wanted – a man to stand in the gap
Britain needs not only a policy and a vision, but a man who knows how to stand in the gap and to repair the damage caused by secularism. ‘I sought for a man among them, that should repair the hedge and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy …
The Protestant reversal
The Protestant Reformation was a revival of biblical scholarship which led to the recovery of the Gospel. Nowadays things are not so clear. There are many documented examples of Roman Catholic clerics being ignorant of the Bible at the time of the 16th-century European Reformation, and in such an environment it was relatively easy for …
Your Christian identity
Are you a Jewish Christian or a Christian Jew or both? Are you a Friend of Israel, a Conservative Friend of Israel, a Christian Friend of Israel or whatever? Are you a Messianic Jew, a Hebrew Christian or Jewish Christian? What is your primary identity? The International Development Secretary Priti Patel was formally reprimanded by …
