Leading P R I M A L is so much fun... After lamenting my ignorance about James and his place in early Christianity my friends sent word that help was on the way... Richard Bauckham on James! We finally decided that we would work through The Epistle of James this winter [July for those in the Southern Hemisphere]. So here's an open invitation to one and all to write a 1pg reflection on either James' life, teaching, epistle or anything else relating to James and his mission. The target audience is a group of semi-postmodern uni students. No Greek or Hebrew, unless you explain it. The guiding principle is J.I. Packers "Theology is for Doxology: That is, the praise of God and the practice of Godliness." You may email your reflections to me: primalhcc AT gmail DOT com... No attachments please, unless you arrange it with me first... This gives you ONE month to offer a thought or meditation on this enigmatic letter. Recognition will be given to each contributor, put a little precis of yourself at the bottom of your piece. We make no money off this, so sorry but there's no profit being made here. In fact, part of their job is to re-translate their own study into a booklet that they will then use to teach in the townships - which then has to be translated into two African languages... We're almost on the cutting edge of cross-cultural ministry in South Africa! So if you're keen, get writing. It should be fun... We only need 25 studies, so first come-first in. Unless you write something that is simply to good to leave out. Then I'll delete my contribution and make space for those who actually know something about James... Hehehehehehee...
