Prompts a fun question: whats the most niche historical inaccuracy in a piece of work that annoys you Not like 'oh they were referring to the wrong king' , more 'they had the wrong king on a banknote in one scene'

Great to be at the induction of my colleague Rev’d Dr Noel Irwin, with Graham Adams preaching.

Noel and Mike Thomason (moderator) as Noel is welcomed. Both are standing before a huge stained glass window at the front of Albion URC Church

On the Friday, there’s two tracks: academic and church. I’m giving a paper on the academic track critiquing Snyder Belousek’s book on marriage and scripture.

First (very brief) edit of the draft by using Microsoft Editor. Pleasingly few spelling mistakes, but 350 grammatical concerns… It turns out Microsoft and I disagree about commas. #Writing #WritingCommunity

Woohoo! Draft one of my latest (thriller with working title No Baggage) is done. Amazing how writing 300 words a day mounts up. #Writing #WritingCommunity Mock up of a possible cover below

Cover with title No Baggage and author Jonathan Tallon. The cover is dark, with a woman’s face partly emerging from the shadows, cross-crossed with dark lines.

John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philippians by Pauline Allen is available as an ebook for $5.00 through 23 August when you use code HOMILIES.https://buff.ly/gkWd2Tw

John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philippians
Pauline Allen

Other ancient commentaries in Greek and Latin on Paul’s Letter to
the Philippians are shorter, survive only in fragments, or are contained in
incidental treatments of the work.36 This is perhaps surprising, given that
the letter contains some passages of great christological significance.
