A new blog is borne

Wed, 11/10/2006 - 17:02 -- James Oakley

I'd like to welcome my friend James Gould to the blogosphere.

James has just started a degree in Biblical Studies at Sheffield, having done a youth-work year-out with us last year. He's concerned to end his degree loving God more than when he began.

So, rather than e-mail all his friends separately with every issue his course raises, he thought he'd start a blog and ask his questions where we can all find them. To start with, they're a bunch of OT questions, often Pentateuch ones.

Welcome, James. And if any readers of this blog ever fancy peaking at his and posting him the odd comment by way of reply - I know he'd be grateful.

What do I notice when I read what Perkins is actually saying (as opposed to what people imagine him to be saying)? He’s saying:
