I’m talking about people who don’t struggle at all with the English language; people who might have postgraduate degrees in law or English; even people who might work with words professionally every day. So why do they need help?

New Testament scholar Lionel Windsor unpacks the book of Ephesians. Having spent years studying Ephesians and teaching from it, Dr Windsor is ideally placed to guide readers through this magisterial letter from the apostle Paul.
Redefining marriage
- Tony Payne •
- 1 July 2015
Amidst all the sound and fury about same-sex marriage, it’s often hard to find a straight-forward, clear, thoughtful Christian defence of what marriage is. Sandy Grant has had a crack, and a very good one, in this recent public lecture at St Michael’s Wollongong.

- Carl Matthei •

I am a reluctant convert to the Swedish Method for Bible study. I read the Briefing article all of those years ago and decided to try it out in a couple of Bible study groups. It didn’t work!

- 26 June 2015
"Do we have to forgive people who aren't sorry?" How would you respond? Our instinct can be to rush in with some kind of ‘yes/no’ answer. What we may fail to do is consider whether or not answering the question as asked is the most helpful response.

There are hundreds of Bible reading plans to choose from. I know because I have searched them, I have tried them, and I have failed them.
