Graham N. Stanton (1940-2009)

News today of the death of Graham Stanton, former professor of New Testament at King's College London (1977-1998) and Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, Cambridge (1998-2007). He was an expert of the gospels, especially the gospel of Matthew and I think in the last few years had been working on a commentary on Galatians.

PhD (1969 - Cambridge), supervised by C. F. Moule

residing in Bath

Inspiration to blog has been hard find in recent weeks. I'm now in Bath, covering for John Rackley at Manvers Street. This means planning two services every sunday as well as other minister stuff. I'm also this week and next helping with RPC library stock check during half the week back in Oxford.  Manvers St is a city centre church and part of my thinking while here is to reflect on how a city centre church exists and survives. So look out for that other the next few weeks. The other thing on my horizon and will be on my mind over the summer is my next steps ... the plan is to hand in MTh dissertation at the end of the September - so that means writing it! I am too late thought to transfer to doctorate programme, so that would have to wait a year ... so do I go onto the settlement list (how Baptist ministers find a church), find a church and wait a few years before doing doctoral work or hope somehow something turns up to help finance a three-year (or part time six-year) doctorate starting September 2010. So lots do and decide. I've not mentioned the children's camping I'm speaking at as well at the end of July.

- Neil's on lessons learnt after ten years in ministry (1, 2)
- Maggi points us to her new book coming out in the autumn
- A collection of essays on the theology of Colin Gunton will be published probably next year, with essays from Alan Spence, Douglas Knight, Steve Holmes, John Colwell and others.
- Regent's Reviews, a book review journal based at Regent's Park College will be relaunching in the autumn online with a special edition looking at recent books written by Baptists - this is to coincide with the autumn series of lectures on Baptist origins marking 400 years of Baptists. I'm helping to joint edit.
