How kenotic alignment reframes spiritual warfare prayer
This paper is partly autobiographical in its examination of the author’s theological shift as a prayer leader in the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement engaged in the practice of prayer as spiritual warfare to overcome obstacles to the kingdom of God. This popular form of prayer draws on Paul’s statements “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty to the destruction of strongholds” (2 Cor.10: 4) and “put on the full armour of God, so…
Kenosis or sovereignty? Christ Jesus and the disclosure of the divine mind
This article is the fruit of engagement with Bruce McCormack's comprehensive The Humility of the Eternal Son: reformed kenoticism and the repair of Chalcedon (Cambridge University Press, 2021) and with Christoph Schwӧbel's essay 'The generosity of the Triune God and the humility of the Son' in Paul Nimmo and Keith Johnson's Kenosis: the self-emptying of Christ in Scripture and theology (Eerdmans, 2022), a collection of contemporary essays dedicat…
Towards a political theology of nations
This paper distinguishes between an apocalyptic and a messianic perspective on the theology of nations. With reference to the gospel emphasis on Jesus’ peripatetic strategy of opening the land to the nations, it proposes that the fullness of expression of a nation manifests when tribes, tongues, and people come together in all their unique variety and chronological history in relationship with a particular geography and pursue a politics of love.…
Towards a Theology of Childhood
This paper is in four parts. Each part sets out various theological implications and then considers their potential impact for action now, in and beyond the Coronavirus pandemic. Beginning with a focus on God through the lens of “the kid in the crib” childhood is positioned at the heart of divine manifestation. Inferences of this for our understanding of the divine nature are set out. From the very start, this has huge implications for the import…
What are the politics of love
Beginning with the examples of Jeremy Corbyn's and Bishop Michael Curry's appeal to love, the article exposes love as an alternative power to sovereignty. Taking three seminal insights from African American Professor Bell Hooks on the importance of love's definition, love as a force and the rootedness of love in childhood experience, the article examines the etymology of the word love and the political implications of recent sociological research…
Cultivating new post-secular political space
The emergence of post-secular new political space is increasingly recognised as both urgent challenge and beckoning opportunity for innovative political intervention. The concept is framed around three defining characteristics. Firstly, it refers to socio-economic space vacated by government and demarcated by extremes of poverty and marginalisation requiring mitigation by charities, faith communities and the like. Secondly, it is evidenced in loc…
Sense of community in neighborhoods as a multi-level construct
Sense of community is a compelling construct that allows psychologists to examine fundamental questions about how individuals are connected to and influenced by their most important social settings. This investigation uses an existing database of 2,409 residents of 21 neighborhoods in a Northeastern city to examine sense of community at the neighborhood level. The investigation used a cross-levels program to examine whether sense of community can…

Four Lives, folklorists in North America have been shown that life history studies can be both scholarly and interesting without being composites of massive amounts of collected data, such as Leo Simmons' Sun Chief (1942). At most, more folklorists might now undertake the collection of life history, either as a narrative end in itself or as a method for understanding various folklore genres, and then wrestle with the problems of editorial methodo…
