 Chapter 2 is now uploaded on Youtube: I must admit, I thought the technical difficulties would have been resolved after Chapter 1 but Chapter 2 has proved to be more complex, the technical side of powerpoint is perhaps slightly easier as I go along.  The presentation can be downloaded as a Powerpoint file here .

 The next chapter has caused a few problems but I am almost there. Like all controversial statements, there is so much to say, so little time. I find Robinson to be a bit confusing, slightly all over the place. He is asking a lot of questions and not asking for or giving answers. This chapter produced the greatest controversy.  As I have said, Robinson in his professional life was a New Testament theologian, not a Systematic Theologian. That means, he was not primarily concerned with the philosophical system behind theology, he writes about this because it is 'trendy' because in the 60s a lot of debate was ongoing and social change was constant.

 Below is the text of my poem for the Pusey House Creative Arts booklet. I have always had a deep curiosity for the Oxford Movement but up until recently, it was mostly about John Henry Newman. When I started to read about Dr Pusey, I realised he was a force to be reckoned with, even if he wasn't as well known today. I don't write poetry that often at the moment but I feel this might be quite good. Dr Pusey was calling for a new movement of holiness.

  Please view the video above that I have just posted on Youtube. I am starting a series of presentations on 'Honest to God' by John A. T. Robinson. The video is a summary of the first chapter.

I might add a presentation at the end with my conclusions or criticisms. Robinson was intensely criticised for his book in the 1960s. It must be remembered that professionally he was a New Testament theologian and not a systematic theologian. The above is a Youtube video.
