How might a young student be inspired by the sermon on the Mount? How can environmentalists, anxious for the future of the world, connect with Matthew's concerns about the End? Refusing to be intimidated by the challenges implicit in reading the gospel, Everyday Conversations with Matthew brings the situations of ordinary readers into conversation with the scholarship to help make the text accessible and practically or pastorally useful in specific instances. These everyday conversations are predicated on a belief that connections are possible; that there are ways of seeing the pastoral or practical usefulness of the text, and, ultimately that there is some point in reading, preaching and teaching from Matthew's gospel.
The Learning Church series offers a range of brief and accessible introductions to the key themes of Christian discipleship and theology. Conversations with the Old Testament introduces major themes and critical issues of the Old Testament in a way which relates them to current experience, context and culture.
Conversations with the New Testament presents an innovative approach to introducing the study of the New Testament. It has a user-friendly narrative style, telling the story of various members of a Church Learning Group as they learn about the content of the material, the critical issues it raises for scholars, and the current state of those questions for today's students. Unlike other introductions, Conversations takes as its starting point the concept of good news, and asks: how do we experience good news in the here and now? Those answers then become part a conversation with the New Testament text. Within that conversation all that might be expected of a New Testament introduction is covered, but hopefully in a way that will encourage further reflection and engagement.

Lies, Sex and Politicians connects what for many people would seem like two very different worlds: the world of the Old Testament and the world of contemporary experience. Using examples as varied as celebrity magazines, reality TV shows, gutter-press journalism and soap operas, the author demonstrates how new methods of approach to the texts can open up surprising possibilities for reflection. From his own experience as a teacher, communicator and priest he shows how the text can be related to ordinary life in a way that makes it a real resource for Christian discipleship. The book will serve as a refreshing introduction to those who find the Old Testament strange and inaccessible, as well as providing fresh insight to those whose job it might be to interpret these texts for others. Written in a lively and contemporary style, and with suggestions for further reflection at the end of each chapter, Lies, Sex and Politicians will prove useful both for group study and private enjoyment, and help to recapture the Old Testament for contemporary Christian faith. John Holdsworth is Archdeacon of St Davids in Pembrokeshire. Formerly he was Principal of St Michael's Theological College in Cardiff, and still teaches in Cardiff University. 'This is the Old Testament at its most talkative and fascinating. If only all clergy taught their congregations this way With deft illustrations and brilliant contemporary parallels John Holdsworth lets the old stories breath again. The culture of today and the world of the Old Testament may seem miles apart; read this book and think again.' John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford 'John Holdsworth has the ability to expound the Old Testament's relevance to our world in an accessible, readable, and insightful way. His communication skills enable the reader to make the connections between the two very different worlds of the Old Testament and our contemporary society because he is up to date on the latest research on the Old Testament and aware of the culture of our day - the world of reality TV shows, ritual celebrations, and memorials. Here is a book that will challenge the reader to make those connections. This is theology at its best - seeing events in our world and relating them to God.' Barry Morgan, Archbishop of Wales

Getting Started With the Bible is a beginner's guide which provides an easy way in to understanding individual books of the Bible and the entire panoramic of the biblical drama and message. Working his way through the whole Bible, John Holdsworth focuses on the passages most likely to be heard in churches and uses these to explore what is actually being said in each passage, the overall message of each book, original contexts and how to approach these texts today, differences of interpretation, and questions raised for living in today's world.
The Exile in the Old Testament is frequently portrayed as a sign of failure and judgement, the inevitable consequence of human disobedience. Turning this idea on its head, John Holdsworth asks whether being in exile is not in fact the proper state for God's pilgrim people to be. Freeing the Church of the tyrannical grip of material security and safety, might it become more open to God's direction and a more authentic sign of the kingdom?
