If anyone in/around Oxford is interested in a full 22 volume set of Calvin's commentaries in good condition, let me know.
(Or RT please, on the off chance that this reaches someone who is!)

Is there a CofE or Oxford anti-racism training course?
I need one for ordination, but dates have gotten mixed up.
English
@JohannesFlacius Ooh interesting. I’ve read some sections in German
English
@MHHuisman Ooh who is Hadewijch? Also Bernard of Clairvaux is underrated
English
The annoying thing is that I made the exact same switch with my thesis (started with Aquinas, shifted to Hadewijch) - I must learn never to waste time with Aquinas! He's just not worth it, even though I've read every article on Thomistic aesthetics in the past 10 years.
M. H. Huisman@MHHuisman
Decided to rehash some research on Thomistic aesthetics for a conference abstract, only to discover after two hours that I don't enjoy Aquinas enough to write about him. Switched back to medieval mysticism/ continental philosophy -

@pastor_whitman Errr you’re missing the best so far!
Origen (second and most influential interpreter of Songs.,) Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux (who btw was hugely influential to both Luther and Calvin) @DanielJamesTay knows what he’s talking about)
English
Beginning study to preach through Song of Songs next year. What am I missing? Give me your recommendations!

Recently met a Dutch theologian here in Oxford and realised that having the same cultural background + same academic interests is actually peak compatibility. Tragically, I've just started applying for PhD's in more foreign countries, oh well-
M. H. Huisman@MHHuisman
It might just be me reaching peak cosmopolitan but I virtually always have more in common with 1) fellow Christians 2) fellow students of my discipline than fellow countrymen.

Some books are so full of cookies you need to read them at least twice. 🍪🍪🍪

We are planning to attend this. Hope to bump into some of you!

You don't have to be big on twitter to speak at this conference, but it helps. Come to hear: @AP_Davison @_F_B_G_ @emselkpartridge @gtomlin @WalkerMarcus @dr_mcgilchrist @moveincircles and many more. Tickets available below.
English
@MHHuisman I thought I recognised you. I saw you at Pusey house! Hope the conference went well
English
People always think I’m joking when I tell them about this book. And about its sequel on 89 reasons why the rapture would be in 1989.

@AP_Davison @Dauntbooks Didn’t know about daunt! Do they have a considerable theology section?
English
I like how @Dauntbooks in North Oxford has decided not just to be one moralist bookshop but to specialise in books about countries and foreign literature. I discovered that by accident this morning. It makes a trip to Summertown to browse a happy prospect.

@zugzwanged - take my money? how much?
English
@chinmj It was altogether most powerful and improving stuff.

@JohannesFlacius Some of Barth’s best insights were really Lutheran impulses anyway 😉
English
With Advent, I catch myself thinking about Karl Barth, and pulling him off the shelf again. Admittedly, I am biased by Jüngel and Jenson. But Barth’s insight – and the great contribution of Reformed theology to my mind – is that God’s arrival has no conditions – except God.
