The central questions of ecclesiology, in our time as in all others, remain stark and straightforward: to whom or what do we belong? To what body do we pledge our allegiance? What commitments do we recognize as those to which all others must bend or bow? That’s how the “About the Ekklesia Project” starts off!…

Richard B. Hays
Rev. Dr. Ezra Kok first “highlighted” NT Scholar Richard B. Hays to me specifically his book – The Moral Vision of the New Testament. Here’s some articles or excerpts I found on the net. Salvation by Trust? Reading the Bible Faithfully Richard Hays’ story of Gary – It’s how he begins chapter 16 (“Homosexuality”) of…
James & Job!
Happy to see James Tan our very own Worship Catalyst (our experimental new term for what was formerly known as Worship Director) is blogging again! My young friend’s scribblings are worth a read to catch a glimpse into his soul … __________________ Reading the book of Job from The Message by Eugene Peterson, I’m intrigued…

Go Make Learners
I was surprised to find a stack of this book at the SUFES sales at three Ringgit per book! I read it for free at The Robert Brow “Model Theology” Webpage before I got involved in “re-starting” BLC.

The Garden of Prayer
I’ve decided to change the picture of the upside down guy to this one View image by Thomas Kinkade. I guess his comments for the painting says it all … Perhaps in a garden we are closer to our creator. We certainly are more close to His creation. My prayer is that this painted garden…
PROLEPTIC
This is a new “word” I learnt from Ted Peters after dancing through 34 pages of his Systematic theology. Here’s his intention for the whole book from the start (there’s much to digest in the pages ahead), here’s a peek: ___________________ By proleptic consciousness I am referring to our awareness and anticipation ahead of time…
