SHIELD OF FAITH: Notes and Essays

This collection of essays brings together recent work by Bernard Thorogood on a variety of theological themes. ‘My Quiet Time’ is a monthly cycle of private prayer and readings. ‘From the Beginning’ offers interpretations for today from Genesis and Exodus. ‘Your Kingdom Come – here and now’ reflects current longings for action that serves the prayer. A short piece, ‘We Believe’ suggests how we need to rethink some of the phrases in the Nicene Creed. ‘The Always God’ looks at the Gospel event as revelation of what is always the reality. In ’25 Significant Events’ the author notes in a lighter vein the historical highlights in a long life; and in ‘My Top Fifty’ he tells us of his favourite books.
