CST 1/10/06 "Prophecy"
on: Sunday 1st October @ 8.30pm
at: Beanscene, in Haymarket [view map]
Sorry for the late notice on this one - been at a conference all week and only just got internet access!
Following some interesting times trying to weigh up the 'prophetic words' I was given during this conference, and in the light of recent light-hearted shinanigans on a few blogs I read regularly (see my 2p worth here) I thought it'd be good to kick off the new CST season with a discussion on Prophecy - in the OT, in the NT and in the church. What is it? How are we to read and interpret it (in Scripture and in the church today)?
I confess to not having much of an idea about this - but hopefully our discussion will be mutually enriching! See you there!

Despite the slightly meandering nature of this conversation I actually felt like I got a better handle on the issue by the end. Thanks to all who came.
Suggested topics for next month (so far) are:
God's relationship to time/space
Homosexuality
So just a couple of easy ones then ;)
Further suggestions/links to articles can be posted here as comments and we'll pick one before the next gathering!
to follow up on the beginnings of a discussion on "Open Theism" there are a couple of useful articles on Wikipedia and Theopedia and a couple of books:
Divine Foreknowledge: 4 Views, James Beilby and Paul Eddy (editors), et al, 2001, InterVarsity Press, ISBN 0830826521
God & Time: Four Views, Gregory E. Ganssle (editor), et al, 2001, InterVarsity Press, ISBN 0830815511
The Wikipedia article is well worth a read!
