Sad to learn Prof Paul A Cohen passed away. I’m so indebted to his works though I’ve never had the privilege to meet him. May he rest in peace!

Absolutely thrilled to find this book in my pigeonhole today, which was written by my great friend Janice Pibworth! Ada Habershon’s hymn “He will hold me fast” has been a great blessing to my life. I’m very sure that Janic/ book could be a brilliant Christmas gift idea!!

As people are fascinated by Tolkien, Lewis, and Rowling, I think Neil Gaiman is really important, especially for those who read theology. I really hope someone to work on Gaiman’s novels from a theological perspective. In particular, to study his American Gods and Good Omens.

Enjoyed reading this fantastic book. Wish there is a sequel on East Asians in British history. Nevertheless, Fatima said it beautifully—pages 184–186—what I would offer as a proposal and call for church historians, i.e., to reimagine a metanarrative. Thank you, Fatima!

Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican;
Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what Thy bosom ran
Blood whereof a single drop has power to win
All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.

I hate to write papers during Christmastide, but the reward is to be able to enjoy @bsecs.bsky.social at Oxford in January. I will present a paper on 18th cen Baptist William Winterbotham’s prison literature on Thursday morning. Excited to see friends and colleagues.

So grateful for Dr Daniel Reed of Oxford Brooks University, who discovered a very rare letter by Joseph Kinghorn to his parents. Virtually, we have no letter between the Kinghorns during Joseph’s time at Bristol Academy, and this letter is extremely important.
