"Faith is to bet on the ultimate validity of joy"
(Peter L. Berger, Questions of Faith: A Skeptical Affirmation of Christianity, p. 6)
This is hardly a comprehensive definition, but it nevertheless delightfully captures something profound about the risk and hope of faith

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.
