Pearcey’s book engages biblically with the current idea of toxic masculinity in two main ways. First, she charts expressions of, and attitudes towards, masculinity and manhood from the American colonial era to the present day. Second, she holds onto the larger picture of sin and grace - both men and women are sinners and in need of redemption.

The main question that this paper seeks to answer is whether the language of “covenant” in the “covenant of works” is biblically warranted. One text that has been used within some Reformed circles to support a covenant made between Adam and God is Hosea 6:7, “But like Adam they transgressed the covenant, there they dealt faithlessly with me” (ESV). This passage, however, has been thwart with various readings within biblical scholarship. This paper argues that the only viable reading of Hosea 6:7 is that Adam transgressed a covenant. If this language of covenant is warranted, then ministers, elders, and the whole church have very good reason to teach and preach the covenant of works and use the language of covenant which the Westminster Confession of Faith uses (7.2).

This paper examines the biblical material on the cosmos and spiritual beings within the epistle to the Ephesians which can have significant implications for gospel leaders ministering to ni-Vanuatu Christians living in fear of nakaemas. By focusing on four key passages (1:10-23, 2:1-7, 3:8-12, and 6:10-20), it is argued that a biblical cosmology affirms the reality and presence of unseen spirits at work on the earth, but guards against any fear of them by clearly articulating and applying the lordship of Christ over all creation. It concludes with three implications, two assurances and one imperative, for gospel leaders ministering to fear-driven ni-Vanuatu.

This article considers the question: to what extent and in what ways is ‘family’ part of God’s work (that is his mission). It argues that family is foundational for God’s pattern in creation and key to the life of Israel, but in both cases is the basis for other institutions. God’s mission is accomplished through the birth of the Christ into a family in Israel and he is the start of the new humanity, given within Israel. The coming of Christ reconfigures family relationships, restores family and recruits it for his mission. On the basis of this survey several implications for Christian life and ministry are outlined.

This paper defines leadership biblically as cultivating the conditions in which others can flourish. This definition draws attention to both the work and purpose of leadership. It is argued that this definition of leadership, also called gospel leadership, is justified in the light of both the servant and shepherd biblical frameworks of leadership. Finally, this paper identifies why leadership is so important, and why it ought to be prioritised by church leaders, especially those who seek improved health and growth in their church.

The current pandemic period has raised the question of which vocations constitute as “essential work”. While there are many important and critical ones, the following essay argues that pastors have the unique and essential privilege of preaching to stir and stimulate Christian joy. Firstly, I propose this by examining Augustine’s matter of preaching - specifically, his theology of joy in his sermon on Psalm 95, with reference to his understanding of the bifurcation of joy and his proposed four reasons for joy. Secondly, I examine Augustine’s manner of preaching, which understood rightly, inspires preachers today to engage in the work of lifting eyes and awakening hearts through the work of preaching.
