I was back on @BBCRadio2's Good Morning Sunday show earlier today, with a Pause for Thought looking at the year ahead.

Ahead of local elections across the UK later this week, I have a piece out with @seenunseenmag. It's about recent attempts to turn Christianity into a political football, and why they're always doomed to fail.

You can read it, for free, here: https://t.co/3QAvgnCjmz

@julienries13 Thank you!

It's nearly Easter weekend. A couple of years ago, I had the joy of writing something for @thechurchtimes about the book of Hebrews in the New Testament, and its surprising theology of Easter.

How did early readers think about the relationship between the gospels?

In the latest installment of @UnbelievableFE, I sat down with @JohnNelsonBTG and Rabbi Marc Shapiro to chat about Jesus and Old Testament prophecy.

It was such a joy to be part of this conversation.

As Advent approaches, John Nelson hosts Dr Jonny Rowlands and Rabbi Prof Mark Shapiro to ask: did Jesus fulfil scriptural prophecy?https://t.co/dBTJ25RgWB
