"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20)

[Michael Shaw @MichaelShaw_1]

Excellent book on Zwingli, the combative yet Christ-centred reformer, by @Stephen_Eccher. Well worth a read for those interested in his life and ministry

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

The immensity of the gospel:

“The perfect God-man takes all that is ours (sin) and gives us all that is his (eternal life)” ~ @chancefaulkner #ChristOurAll

[Michael Shaw @MichaelShaw_1]

Many believers in Baptist churches may struggle to say why they hold to Baptist convictions with precision and clarity. 'The Baptist Vision', by Matthew Emerson and @lukestamps, is a great resource which addresses this need. https://t.co/Z8AvSKmKzm

What does it mean to move from studying theology to contributing original knowledge to the church and academy? Dr. Gregory Parker introduces our research-only PhD—supervised work across Scripture, theology, and culture, within a scholarly fellowship.

Really enjoyed presenting a symposium paper (a historiography of the ‘Grand Debate’ at the Westminster Assembly) recently at @UnionTCollege. Thanks to those who organised it, look forward to more in future

[Union Theological College @UnionTCollege]

Our thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the UTC PhD Symposium on Friday 22 May, whether in-person or online. Special thanks to our plenary speaker, Dr Kevin Vanhoozer (The Alexandrian Institute).

[The Alexandrian Institute @AlexandrianInst]

Our 2026 Colloquium celebrated the outstanding research of our graduating MA Theology students. Papers included critical engagement with theological scholarship, including the work of Herman Bavinck, Moses Amyraut, David Bentley Hart, and John Owen.

Hosted @UnionTCollege.

[Martyn Cowan @martyncowan]

Great to be at @IBCollege speaking on Owen’s call to preachers to ‘acquaint themselves thoroughly’ with the nature and causes of regeneration, given that it is ‘the work about which they are employed’.

[Michael Shaw @MichaelShaw_1]

A helpful and insightful article by R. Lucas Stamps on the need for theological retrieval in Baptist churches:
"At our best we’ve always understood ourselves to be a renewal movement within the one holy, catholic, and apostolic church."

[First Things @firstthingsmag]

N. T. Wright embodies a problem that bedevils many theologians and Church leaders of his generation. Such figures love moderation to a fault and defer excessively to the politics of modern liberal democratic society.

Christianity's decline has unleashed terrible new gods https://t.co/4n0IH6MJjE

[Dirk Jongkind @DJngKnd]

I hope this is helpful for those who want to look at the New Testament as something that is more than a collection of disjointed writings.
