The following was first published over on The Anchored Argosy Substack. Within the episode I mention the Davenant Institute’s ongoing modernization of The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I also mention Brad Littlejohn’s introduction to the life and work of Richard Hooker.
Desacralizing and Evangelizing Politics
The following is drawn from two reflections that were previously published over on the Anchored Argosy: Keeping Faith In and Out of Politics and Understanding the Boundaries Between Church and Politics.

The following is a reading of a reflection that was first published on our Substack. A version of it was also published on Ad Fontes.
Selden College (with Dr Timothy Edwards)
Dr Timothy Edwards is Principal and Academic Dean of Selden College, a new Christian liberal arts college, which opens its doors to students in October 2025. He joins me to discuss his vision for Selden College, the work that has already been undertaken to found it, and what lies ahead. Over the course of our conversation, we also consider the distinctive character of Christian education and the way it can benefit the UK.

Why Mordecai Did Not Bow
Every two or three weeks, Susannah and I will post on our free Substack, The Anchored Argosy. Within our posts, we give an update on our news, share some photos, and provide links to recent things we have produced. In each post, I will also usually share some thoughts on a subject that has been on my mind over the period. A while back, I wrote a reflection on the question of why Mordecai did not bow to Haman in the book of Esther. I have now recorded an audio form of the reflection which is available on YouTube and on my podcast.
Numbers and the Camp of Israel (with Michael Morales)
Michael Morales is the author of a two-volume commentary on the book of Numbers in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series. The first volume, on chapters 1-19, has been released. The second volume, on chapters 20-36, is forthcoming. He joins me for a discussion of the war camp of Israel in the opening chapters of the book.
We discuss the importance of the war camp within the theology of Numbers and Scripture more generally, the place of Numbers in the Pentateuch, the symbolism of the camp, and much, much more!
‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ Course
Today is the last day my forthcoming Davenant Hall ‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ course is open for (late) registration. If you are interested in taking the course, you need to act now!
Within the course we will be developing a Christian account of man and woman, in conversation with an array of diverse texts and interlocutors from several different fields and realms of enquiry, both academic and popular—philosophy, biology, the social sciences, etc.
The course follows on from previous courses I’ve taught on ‘A Biblical Theology of the Sexes’ and ‘Man and Woman in Modernity’, while also standing alone. Its goal is to show how a Christian account of the sexes can enter into receptive yet principled dialogue with other fields.
The course runs for ten weeks of two-hour classes and is open to auditors. Videos of each class will be made available to every student who signs up, but are exclusive to them. If you don’t sign up for the class, you miss the opportunity!
Sign up here!
