The Vinedresser Revisited uses original audio recordings and documents to present some of my views regarding a booklet written about a Lenten studies series I led on Jesus’ sayings from the cross. I presented this series at the request of that booklet’s author for an Anglican parish under his authority as its minister and priest.

The Vinedresser Revisited affirms God’s triunity and the symphonic harmony of God’s being in achieving God’s purposes in God’s creation in and through God’s people. It understands Scripture as providing God’s rich testimony to his grace and mercy through the recorded witnesses of his people in different eras and in a range of literary forms.

The Vinedresser Revisited also reflects on some leadership themes linked with atonement thinking that may impact on lay-people participating in church and related communities.

Positive and mutually supportive relationships are one of the strengths of any Christian congregation and its clergy. The Vinedresser Revisited leads the reader to face the issue honestly and to consider it prayerfully. To do so will enrich both the reader and the Church.
