Description
Book SynopsisGlimpses of God is an ecumenical course for discussion groups in five sessions, written by Canon David Winter – ideal for Lent, yet usable at any time.
Trade ReviewAccessibly weaves substantial theology with Bible study, emphasizing that we need to unfamiliarize ourselves with the Bible, letting its sheer strangeness jolt us. Plenty of personal glimpses and fascinating detail include an Orthodox priest protesting that a prostitute is not a sinner, but an icon in the dustbin . . . * Church Times on GOD HAS NO FAVOURITES *
The York Courses format is tried and tested . . . Leading us in theology and ecclesiology are a mix of activist and academic, also ecumenical [contributors]. The sessions are scholarly but not inaccessible . . . a clear outline of "environmental justice" . . . An ideal resource for individuals or groups. * New Directions on CARING FOR CREATION *
One health warning: avoid this course if the Psalms hardly feature in your acts of worship, because anyone completing it will be an enthusiast for their wider and more central use. * Church Times on THE PSALMS *
