A Conversation with Gerald Bray on his new Systematic Theology

At The Gospel Coalition website, Gerald Bray responds to questions put by Matt Smethurst  about Bray’s recently published Systematic Theology, “God is Love”.

“God Is Love is very different from any other systematic theology on the market today because it takes the Reformation principle of sola Scriptura seriously. It is not just a question of backing up everything from the Bible but of trying to convey God’s self-revelation in the Bible in a biblical way…”

– Read the conversation here.

Related: Mark Thompson writes:

“Here is a piece of mature theology, concerned for the glory of God, the edification of his people, and the spread of the gospel in the world. What a refreshing change from the posturing and positioning of so much theological writing today. Gerald is not trying to draw attention to himself, make a name for himself or impress his peers in the theological academy or in his ecclesiastical stable. From the beginning the spotlight is elsewhere – something this book has in common with the best of Christian theology through the centuries.”

Archbishop Peter Jensen’s Easter Message 2012

Archbishop Peter Jensen has released his 2012 Easter message – a message of wonderful news.

Watch it here at SydneyAnglicans.net (1 minute 20 seconds).

And you can download the message here formatted as 2 x A5 handouts.

Or read the text below –

“You can pay people to do a lot of things for you but you can’t pay someone else to do death for you. And there is no one on earth who can really tell you what it’s like.

They are the facts.

If you want to travel to an exotic place, someone has been there before you and can tell you what it is like, with photos. But there are no travellers into the realm of death who come back.

That’s a fact.

Well, no it isn’t a fact.

There is a man who has been there and come back and told us what to expect. That man is Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.

We Christians love Easter because it is the historical reminder that although Jesus was executed by being crucified and was truly dead, three days later he broke out of his tomb and showed that death is not the last word in life.

And everything is changed. Instead of living in fear and anxiety, it’s as though God has turned the light on and dispelled our fear.

Jesus dies so that we could be forgiven and he lives to give us life beyond the grave.

Now that’s a great fact!

Dr Peter F Jensen,
Archbishop of Sydney,
Easter, 2012 AD.”

Dr Peter O’Brien in conversation on Hebrews

Dr Peter O’Brien recently sat down with John Gray and Keith Baker at St. Paul’s Castle Hill for a relaxed chat about the letter to the Hebrews.

Most encouraging.

See the conversation in segments of about 5 minutes each on Vimeo –

  1. What points of similarity are there between the first readers of Hebrews and Sydney Christians today?.
  2. What should we make of the call to be certain of what we do not see?
  3. When we go through hard times, can we discern between God’s discipline and simply living in a fallen world?
  4. What does the call to follow in the suffering footsteps of Jesus mean today?
  5. In Hebrews 12, what does it mean to say the readers have come to the new Jerusalem?
  6. Who is Melchizedek?
