I’ve just received several copies of the latest issue of Churchman with an article I wrote about biblical interpretation which is influenced by American literary pragmatists – blokes like Stanley Fish and Richard Rorty. They argue that there’s no such thing as ‘objective’ interpretation of texts, simply different ‘uses’ of texts within specific interpretive communities. This sort of hermeneutic has been really significant in the debate on homosexuality and marriage.
If you want to read it, it won’t be on the online database for a while. I’m happy to give away my free copies (I’ve already read it!)

How many free copies, Ben? I’d love to read it.

Hi Terry, I’ll post you a copy after Easter – happy Easter to all in the Wright household! And it was really lovely to catch up with you and Isaac in London a few weeks ago!

Thanks, Ben – happy Easter to the Clan McSargent, too!
We all went for a service at St Margaret’s by Westminster Abbey yesterday (http://www.sacredwrightings.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/some-brief-reflections-on-good-friday.html) and ended up going to the same eatery afterwards – and sat in the exact same seats! We remembered you fondly. 🙂

Thanks, Ben. My copy arrived yesterday. I read a couple of sentences to Isaac, but he was more interested in Top Gear. I shall try to do better by him.
