All in one place

Here are the various resources that have been made available throughout the zoom courses. A few of them I have combined into longer articles (for example, I have combined the ones on Scripture).

Videos

The four interviews with Roger Mitchell.

  1. Why 'kenarchy'?

  2. Why do you not like the term 'sovereignty'?

  3. And how do you understand the cross?

  4. How does 'kenarchy' outwork at a practical level?

Interviews with Michele Perry.

A response to 'Seven Mountains'


Interviews with Stephen Hill

Challenging Accepted Norms and the Status Quo


Other videos.

Judas: It was Night Martin Scott

The radical nature of Stephen's Speech Martin Scott

A Narrative Approach: an introduction Martin Scott

The final taking of Jerusalem YouTube Historical Animation of the Jewish War 66-70AD (24mins).

Alternative Video on the Fall of Jerusalem YouTube - longer alternative to above (45mins).

The Maccabean Revolt YouTube Historical Animation of the Maccabean Revolt against Greeks & subsequent cleansing of the Temple 167-160BC
This revolt and the cleansing of the Temple is the history behind the Festival of Hanukkah; the Greek king Antiochus IV (Epiphanes) caused the 'sacrilege that causes desolation' in the Temple and is the type of 'antiChrist'. Perhaps the book of Daniel is aimed as an encouragement into this period of history.

The following video goes with the first volume but given that it is on the cross I thought it should also be added here:


Podcasts

Pete Enns has a fabulous set of podcasts - always interesting and normally with a touch of controversy.

A recent one on maculine toxity / patriarchy and its normalcy within evengelicalism:


Books

The list is endless. I am deeply indebted to N.T. (Tom) Wright. His writings on Jesus and on Paul are a good place to start. For a more challenging read try Andrew Perrimann and his regular blog at: https://postost.net.

Brad Jersak: A More Christlike God: A More Beautiful Gospel

Brian Zahnd: Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God: The Scandalous Truth of the Very Good News

Not a book (duh!) but they both have presented 'The Gospel with Chairs'.

Just try YouTube and see how many variations of this there are!

For an approach to Scripture try Pete Enns various writings or the excellent (and astutely entitled) book by Derek Flood: Disarming Scripture.

Roger Haydon Mitchell's research was into how sovereignty (my over-simplification power as the paradigm for God and how s/he relates to humanity). Try The Fall of the Church. Deeply profound and much more to it than simply pre-Constantine OK, post-Constantine all bad!
