About Me
- Name: Chris Tilling
- Location: London, United Kingdom
I am New Testament Tutor for St Mellitus College and St Paul's Theological Centre, London. In my postgraduate research (under the supervision of Max Turner) I’m working on a thesis that concerns the christological significance of the language Paul used to describe the relationship between risen Lord and believer. My blog, Chrisendom, is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped, but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way. For more about me, click here for my interview with biblioblogs' Jim West.

Every artist is a cannibal
Every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration
Then sing about their grief.

Oi, you word robber, isn't that U2's The Fly?
Nice, Byron! Very nice!
David, no it ain't! Got it from an old file called 'great quotes' left on my old hard drive! Found it today while importing software.
It so is U2. I downloaded it recently. See this url:

David, I beg to differ.
Once I've taken it, it's mine.
Possession is nine tenths of the law.
OK Byron,
What do you think of this then?
We're one but we're not the same,
We get to carry each other,
Carry each other.
One love....
Good eh?
To quote the eminent authority, Tom Lehrer:
"I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky.
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics: Plagiarize!
Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize...
Only be sure always to call it please, "research".
