I've just finished week 2 at Oxford. I went along to Markus Bockmuehl's undergraduate 'Introduction to Paul' lecture series. He didn't convince to change my mind on Paul's biography or theology (Douglas Campbell remains my guide to all things Paul), but it was good to hear him share a few thoughts on 1 Thessalonians. It was annoying there was no time for questions.
From next week, I plan to join Nigel Biggar's graduate seminar in moral theology - we'll be reading some Aquinas, Barth, Hauerwas and others over the next few weeks.
I'm beginning to think about my first two MTh essays. I'm looking at doing one on baptist ecclesiology, engaging particularly with Nicholas Healy's Church, World and the Christian Life (CUP, 2000) and doing the other on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with regard to Colin Gunton. Although nothing yet finalised.
I've got a growing list of books I'm trying to read (and some review).
Lucky, lucky lad
