This book seeks to describe God in an old way. It doesn't present theories or suggest that you become involved in a particular practice of religious culture. It shows how human understanding about God changed 2,000 years ago, and invites you to explore the strange and beautiful dynamic that was created by that change. The subject is the forgiveness of sins.The message isn't for religiously minded people, or just for churchgoers. It is for everyone. This is because the issue of forgiveness touches everyone's life. At some point, on a small or very significant issue, we are faced with the question of forgiveness. What is it? How does it relate to me? What does it mean to forgive?Exploring the answers takes us on a journey.

The Broad Church tradition in the Church of England owes much to the mid-19th century pioneers F. D. Maurice, Charles Kingsley and F. W. Robertson. Their vision was Biblical, Evangelical and Catholic with a strong sense of the role of the National Church in seeking to bring every aspect of public and private life in England and Wales under the lordship of God.John Rogerson is an Anglican priest and international authority on the Old Testament. This edition of five short lectures provides a fascinating exploration of the history and theology of the Broad Church movement, showing its deep relevance to the life and mission of the Church today.

Language about the Holy Spirit in church worship is confused and contradictory. This can lead to extremes in which the Spirit may appear limited to the ministry of bishops and elders, or is believed to be manifest in signs and wonders which alone are held to be the marks of the true church. This book is written for congregations, clergy and leaders by a leading international authority on the Old Testament(a non-charismatic Christian). He helps readers navigate and understand the church's perplexing language about the Holy Spirit, using insights from scholarship and his long experience of working as a priest.Based on sermons from his regular ministry, each chapter carefully explores and illuminates biblical references to the Holy Spirit, encouraging readers to believe that God is on the inside of his creation, in the world and the church, even when 'results' are not spectacular in a human sense. Where the Gospel is faithfully preached and heard, the Spirit of God is at work.
