Ep31. In His Own Strange Way, Geoff Thompson

"These words remind us that God loves the world by doing something concrete for it..."

I sat down with Geoff Thompson to talk about his new book "In His Own Strange Way: a Post-Christendom, Sort-of Commentary on the Basis of Union." We talk about Jesus, the way the BoU wraps the story of the church in the much bigger story of Christ and cosmos, the importance of going 'back to basics' when asking questions of the Bible, and the purpose of Ordained ministers as ensuring "the church keeps its witness to Christ and participation in his mission at heart of why it exists”.

Geoff Thompson is Coordinator of Studies: Systematic Theology at Pilgrim Theological College part of the University of Divinity. His writings include Disturbing Much Disturbing Many: Theology Provoked by the Basis of Union, A Genuinely Theological Church, Jesus Christ According to the Basis of Union, and the forthcoming Doctrine: a guide for the Perplexed.
