Difficult texts: Matthew 23
Some Gospel verses have been criticized for engaging in hate speech or for being anti-Semitic: for example, the blood libel in Matthew and the categorization of Jews as 'of the devil' in John. However, the woes that Jesus declares upon scribes and Pharisees have received less attention. Although Matthew 23 is vulnerable to the accusation that it is anti-Semitic hate speech and should not be used in church, the criticism is misplaced as anachronis…
Difficult texts: Matthew 28.19-20
Have these two famous verses had too much weight placed upon them? The conclusion to Matthew's Gospel is used to justify and mandate a vast range of missionary activity, but is this justified by the text? Can it bear the load? A close reading of verses 19-20 suggest that they make sense within Matthew's Gospel and have a rather different meaning from the popular resort to them as 'The Great Commission'. The interpretation offered here problematiz…
Difficult Texts: Matthew 7.1-6
Every commentator struggles with the interpretation of Matthew 7.6, because the tantalizing image of 'casting pearls before swine' is so enigmatic. The interpretation offered here deals with the puzzle of the meaning of the proverb by reading it alongside verses 1-5. The argument suggests that the command not to judge (v. 1) is to be understood in a strong or hard sense (i.e. do not condemn) that does not undermine the use of judicious judgement …
Cutting Out and Taking Liberties: Australia's Convict Pirates, 1790–1829
T he 104 identified piratical incidents in Australian waters between 1790 and 1829 indicate a neglected but substantial and historically significant resistance practice, not a scattering of unrelated spontaneous bolts by ships of fools. The pirates’ ideologies, cultural baggage, techniques, and motivations are identified, interrogated, and interpreted. So are the connections between convict piracy and bushranging; how piracy affected colonial sta…

Skilled workers or marginalized poor? The African population of the United Kingdom, 1812–52
The basic data for the study are derived from sources in Australian convict records on just over 200 cases of identifiable Afro‐Blacks who were transported to Australia from the United Kingdom between 1812 and 1852. Occupational skill structure and literacy are used as proxies for social circumstances and compared with data on transported convicts and the general population of Britain. Arguments are also advanced as to why such a sample can be us…
Identity, community and the lived experience of black Scots from the late eighteenth to the mid‐nineteenth centuries
The existing literature on Black Scots is little developed, has a certain bias towards a limited number of elite figures and, in common with the literature on Black people in Britain in general, tends to treat the question of their identity as unproblematic, even eternalizing it. This article presents a number of case histories of plebeian Black Scots, male and female, alongside, in particular, Benedict Anderson's concept of national identity as …

Pan-Africanism Since 1940
In 1940, Pan-Africanism seemed to be in a state of decay, yet was germinating new growth. One generation of leaders and organisations was fading. There had been no Pan-African Congress since the unimpressive New York Congress in 1927. The organiser of the four congresses between 1919 and 1927, W. E. B. DuBois, later acclaimed as the 'Father of Pan-Africanism', appeared to look back on them as a completed episode. His semi-autobiographical book, D…
