Reading Sibbes Aloud Project

“The Reading Sibbes Aloud Project provides a growing collection of sermons of the Puritan Richard Sibbes. The great value of Puritan writing continues to be its depth of scriptural insight and timeless application. Please join Mark Dever as he reads through the works of the ‘Prince of the Puritans’ Richard Sibbes.”

Moore Bolt

“Peter Bolt, the brilliant Head of New Testament Studies at Moore College, has published again. It is fascinating the way he has followed the same trajectory as another great New Testament teacher at Moore, Donald Robinson (who would later become Archbishop of Sydney). Like Bishop Robinson, Peter has taught and published landmark works on the New Testament. His The Cross at a Distance: Atonement in Mark’s Gospel (Nottingham: IVP, 2004) comes to mind.

But last week some of the readings were different from what we had in front of us. And others noticed too. What was going on?…”

– Sandy Grant at St. Michael’s Wollongong writes about the changes to the NIV – at The Sola Panel.

Tending the Flock of God

“We gather in this Cathedral to ordain twelve persons as priests in the church of God at a time when there is sustained criticism of leadership in our culture. In both the corporate and political worlds leaders have been accused of looking after their own interests and being out of touch.

By way of contrast the readings at this service paint a radically different picture of what leadership should be like in the household of faith. The readings reflect on both the nature and manner of pastoral leadership…”

– Bishop Trevor Edwards preached this sermon at an ordination at St Saviour’s Cathedral in the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn last weekend.
