Trinity – Worship and Wonder shares some of my understanding of and appreciation for trinitarian theologies. It considers several of the resources I have found helpful as I have tried to be more aware of the faith, social and cultural dynamics associated with their development. A partially completed version of Trinity – Worship and Wonder is available for downloading and reading online.

Redefining – Meaning and Scripture, Inclusion and Hierarchies, and Community and Leadership reflects on some of the ways I have understood these themes.

Learning to Love Wisdom is an expanded version of my dissertation during my Flinders University Master of Theological Studies course with the Adelaide College of Divinity. It considers educational, social and theological themes evident in the first nine chapters of the book of Proverbs.

Living in Love and Freedom and In Triune Community are edited collections of background notes written for sharing with various groups of people. Living in Love and Freedom includes study series on Living Together in Love (engaging with New Testament insights into the with-us-God) and One in Love and Freedom (exploring the book of Revelation) as well as single meditations in Living Treasures and further Reflections. In Triune Community gathers studies under themes covering Israel – God’s People, The Life of Jesus, The Death and Resurrection of Jesus, God’s Presence with his People, Living in God’s Holiness and Love, With God in His World, and Culture and Vocation.

Meditations on Hope and Peace explores ways communities can peacefully and purposefully flourish by living faithfully in God’s grace and mercy. It focuses on testimonies in the Hebrew Bible to God’s creative and redemptive actions, and to the biblical witnesses of early Christian communities.

Meditations on Resilience and Renewal 1 and Meditations on Resilience and Renewal 2 consider the resilience of Hebrew and early Christian communities as they sought sustainable renewal in the context of their resistance to unwelcome political, cultural and religious pressures. Whether by trusting God’s covenant promises prior to the ministry of Jesus, or by the impact of his life, death and resurrection, their hope was in God’s provision and care for their families, communities and God’s creation.

Living Love, Travelling Together and Towards Eternity look at aspects of the ways God’s self-revelation as Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ informs our journey of endeavouring to live in love and hope by faith and with joy as the people of God.

Understandings and appreciations of theologies of the triune God’s presence among us in the humanity of Jesus inform and are informed by considering Jesus’ sufferings, death, resurrection and ascension.

Exploring biblical insights into God’s relationship with creation and humanity, and the responses of people of faith, also provides the context for these reflections.

Meditations on Hope and Peace and Living Love cover similar time frames and settings, with Meditations on Resilience and Renewal 1, Meditations on Resilience and Renewal 2, Travelling Together, Towards Eternity and In Triune Community from a later context. Learning to Love Wisdom and Living in Love and Freedom were from a study environment and a different ministry opportunity.
