At What Price Awakening? Examining the Theology and Practice of the Bethel Movement

20/09/2018 | Stephen Tan

“Australia for Jesus” is the motto of Awakening Australia, an event that seeks to unite every denomination under one mission: to bring revival to Australia. They believe that God clearly told them 100,000 Australians would come to God in 2018. They are “raising up a nationwide prayer mandate for the salvation of our families, friends and our country”. While revival, unity and nationwide prayer are good goals for Christians to have, I am unable to support Awakening Australia. My aim in writing this article…

Resilience – A Spiritual Project

18/09/2018 | Dave McDonald

In the field of Christian ministry the statistics of burnout seem alarmingly high and the focus on building resilience is both urgent and important. Kirsten Birkett has provided a great service by sharing her research into these areas in her latest book Resilience: A Spiritual Project. This isn’t a popular level book. For a start, it’s published by The Latimer Trust, as the 84th of their brief academic studies. While only being 46 pages in length, it includes another 9 pages of bibliography, comprising mainly of academic journal articles….

30/08/2018 | Andrew Court

Urban myths create unsuspecting perpetrators. Recently I became aware of my own myth-propagating sin.

The Power: Book Review

15/08/2018 | Andrew Moody

Please note that this is a (very) secular novel which contains some explicit and potentially upsetting material. It is discussed here, not so much for the purpose of recommendation, but as a useful representative of one important contemporary viewpoint. In Naomi Alderman’s speculative fiction novel The Power women have
