The Writing
Essays on Scripture, theology, and how faith intersects with contemporary culture.
Culture
We are all, always, being edited. So why do we treat the people we disagree with as though they've arrived at their final form?
Biblical Theology
The theological moves that justified the Crusades—sacralising territory, demonising enemies, silencing dissent—reappear in modern Christian Zionism. This essay traces the dangerous pattern of transforming political positions into divine mandates, then and now.
Politics
Free speech in Australia feels natural, but our laws treat it as fragile. In the shadow of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, this piece explores history, law, and faith—arguing why minority voices must be defended, and where our true hope ultimately lies.
On Writing
Writing is both wound and gift. Our words never capture ideas perfectly, yet in their failure new questions and deeper truths emerge. In their brokenness, words become lifeblood—awakening wonder, shaping thought, and pointing us toward the eternal Word who gives life.
Hermenuetics
Claims that every Old Testament passage is "about Jesus" often lack New Testament support. A better approach: Christo-telic hermeneutics recognises all Scripture finds its ultimate fulfilment in Christ without forcing Jesus into every single verse.
When corporations gained the legal status of persons, they inherited rights without souls and responsibilities without shame. This exploration traces how practical business arrangements evolved into moral agents that shield human accountability whilst accumulating unprecedented power.
When Abraham doubts God's promises, God performs a covenant ceremony staking His own existence on keeping His word—passing through divided animals alone while Abraham sleeps, essentially declaring "may I be destroyed if I break this covenant."
We think we know Genesis 3—the serpent, the woman, the forbidden fruit. But this may be our greatest obstacle to reading Scripture. When we slow down and pay attention to, we discover sophisticated character development, dramatic tension, and theological depths that reward patient reading.
Old Testament
Genesis 1-2 isn't just ancient history—it's the foundation for everything we believe about God, humanity, and our purpose. Discover how to read creation's story carefully, teach it confidently, and help others see why it matters for their lives today.
New Testament
Introducing a new series to accompany the Bible Overview unit I'm leading at my church. We'll be exploring the Scriptures as one unified story and discovering our place in God's drama of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration through thoughtful reflection on Scripture's big narrative.
