Friday: Living the Kingdom - Jesus and Ethics (Paid Subscribers)
I’m gradually working on a book about Jesus called Whispers of Revolution: Jesus of Nazareth and the Coming of God as King, no idea when it’s gonna be finished. But here is an excerpt of my first draft on “Jesus and Ethics.”
Saturday: Meeting of the Aviary! (Paid Subscribers)
I’ll be hanging out with my Word from the Bird supporters for a short lecture on Luke and Acts, and then do a Q&A on anything.
