Sexegesis Promo in Sydney

Last week saw the Sydney launch of the book I co-edited with Gordon Preece called Sexegesis. There is a good write-up about the Sydney launch over at the Sydney Anglicans website. Bp Robert Forsyth, who launched the book in Sydney, stated:

“What’s interesting is that this is not a book by the usual suspects. We in Sydney have had almost nothing to do with it. It’s a book written by evangelical scholars and ministers in places where I think the debate is much more urgent and severe” Bishop Forsyth told the launch audience in Sydney “where within their own dioceses the questions and challenges of ‘Five uneasy pieces’ are very seriously being promoted. So this is very much an attempt for those people in Melbourne and Brisbane, in particular, to examine and work on individual texts and the wider philosophical and social issues – both presenting positive points of view as well as significant critique of the arguments of the first book.”
