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. Meditations on Resilience and Renewal 1 is in two sections. Part One, Worship and Wisdom, covers the Old Testament using categories from the Hebrew Bible. Part Two, Presence and Absence, covers Matthew’s and Mark’s Gospels and New Testament letters apart from those attributed to Paul or John. Meditations on Resilience and Renewal 2 is also intwo sections. Part Three, Mystery and Mission, covers Luke’s Gospel, the book of Acts and Paul’s letters, while Part Four, Incarnation and Apocalypse, covers John’s Gospel, John’s letters and the book of Revelation. These four groupings reflect natural connections between authors, content and context, and with their sub-groupings, give helpful insights to the concerns of the Bible’s authors and the communities in which they lived and with which they shared.
