As two huge @TheRestHistory enthusiasts, @DrPJWilliams and I chat about their latest episodes, the surprising genius of Jesus and Peter attempts to SAVE CHRISTMAS.
Love to know what @holland_tom and @dcsandbrook think:

Where does the 'Maundy' in Maundy Thursday come from? I never knew till this morning.
Derived from Latin Mandatus (>English 'command')
'A new Commandment I give you, that you love one another.'
(in fn to Fenelon's meditation on Maundy Thursday)
Published today “Jesus Lover of my soul: fresh pathways in spiritual intimacy”. My take on the spiritual reading of the Song of Songs. Many thanks to @IVPbookcentre who’ve believed in the project.
Shudder to think what theological cliffs I would have gone over or spiritual bogs I’d have got stuck in without that book at that moment . Thank you Lord for Jim Packer
In my first term at university I became aware it was time to decide. Was the classical evangelicalism of the Christian Union true or should I stick with the liberal non-gospel of the denomination I grew up in? #ThankYouPacker
I realised it came down to my view of the Bible so reread JIP’s God has spoken. He argued that the bibles own view of itself was that of classical evangelicalism - and I’ve never been persuaded otherwise.
