Ridley College is an evangelically-inclined Anglican college that operates under the umbrella of the UK’s University of Cambridge. The College is also the sponsor of a vigorous menu of thoughtful booklets on ethics, worship, biblical studies and the like.
Some of them are to be died for.
You expect a certain intellectual payload in a publication associated with Cambs. What you may not expect is accessibility. You get it here.
The Grove Biblical Series expertly analyzes issues of biblical understanding and biblical criticism in language than any attentive and literate layperson will be able to understand and appreciate.
Issues in biblical studies that have long separated conservatives from their more liberal compeers are treated with both a commitment to the Bible’s reliability and a competent use of the methods of biblical criticism that are in some quarters considere anathema to genuine faith.
Consider Chris Wright’s recent contribution entitled ‘Truth with a Mission. Reading Scripture Missiologically’ or Philip Jenson’s earlier ‘Reading Jonah’. Both issues are eminently sane exemplars of that great English evangelical tradition that holds both faith and reason in lively and mutally enriching proximity.
Long live their tribe.
