Conversations along the way introduces my thoughts on a range of theological and ministry topics

NEW: An updated release of Trinity – Worship and Wonder is now available (March 2026).
‘Trinity – Worship and Wonder shares some of my understanding of and appreciation for the trinitarian theologies of nine theologians. I respond to outlines of their theologies with the help of reviews of their books and articles. Trinity – Worship and Wonder considers a range of resources that I have found helpful as I have tried to be more aware of the faith, social and cultural dynamics associated with trinitarian theology.
I have found this long-term personal learning journey a far from purely conceptual one. The personal and relational themes, the confronting life-style challenges, the emotional and cognitive impacts, and the enriching and encouraging beliefs about core values, have repeatedly slowed down my reading and led to times of meaningful meditation and renewing reflection.’
Trinity – Worship and Wonder is in three sections. The first one, Early Learnings, looks at books by J. I. Packer, Samuel Chadwick and Thomas Smail. The second section considers books by Donald MacLeod, Colin E. Gunton and Robert Letham, and the final section focuses on books by Kevin Giles, James B. Torrance and Adam J. Johnson. All three sections include responses gleaned from other authors.
Books provides outlines of and links to my books. They can be read online, downloaded or obtained as paperbacks at no cost (except postage).

- My Reading page includes some resources on the book of Revelation.
- Pellucid by Wade Mullen includes Shape Shifters and Face Dancers, The Gaslight Religion, and The Coercive Cycle: A model for understanding how abusive tactics are learned and reinforced.
- A timely article for the 1700th anniversary of the original Nicene Creed: Philip Jenkins – The Nicene Myth: The Da Vinci Code is but one of the council’s many misrepresentations.

- Mary Luti’s But He Emptied Himself devotional profiles Philippians 2:5–11 as ‘an ode to downward mobility’. She suggest that If you aren’t sure what Christianity is about, here’s a clue: it’s not a hero story. If you were expecting someone divine to save the world, well, yes. But it turns out that the divine savior is a man like anyone else, less than anyone else, living on his knees, a towel around his waist, a bowl at his side, and feet. Many, many feet.
- Richard Hays’ death turned my attention to his Retirement Lecture on ‘A Dark Fruition: Waiting in Hope’. I have printed a selection of what he said in my Trinity – Worship and Wonder book and also here.
