NEW – A cruciform theology (2026)
Recently, I have been asked why having a cruciform theology is so important for me and I struggled to convey clearly what I meant by the phrase. So, I decided to give it some serious thought and here is the result. You can probably see how it ties in with other things I have been sharing recently.
My Spiritual Biography: From Certainty to Trust (2026)
A personal reflection on how grief, suffering and spiritual searching have reshaped my faith: from the security of fixed answers towards a deeper trust in the God revealed through self-giving love. Drawing particularly on Simone Weil and Etty Hillesum, it explores prayer, mystery, compassion and the slow work of becoming more loving.
Masters dissertation on “The Soteriology of Simone Weil in Relation to her Doctrine of Creation” (2021)
An accessible introduction to Simone Weil’s demanding and often unorthodox Christian thought, centred on the question: where is God in a suffering world? It examines her understanding of creation, the Cross, affliction, attention and self-emptying love, while offering a critical interpretation of how her insights might illuminate Christian faith and hope.
Authority in a Local Baptist Church (2019)
A reflection on authority and decision-making in the local Baptist church. Using a South Manchester congregation as a case study, it argues that church meetings may need renewal, but that the gathered congregation remains essential to discerning Christ’s leading and holding its leaders to account.
The Implications of the Word become Flesh in Athanasius (2017)
An exploration of Athanasius’s understanding of the Incarnation: why Christian faith insists that Jesus is both fully God and fully human. It considers how, through the Word becoming flesh, humanity is restored from sin and death, enabled to share in God’s life, and given a future hope beyond corruption and loss.
