Optimism or pessimism: which should be the Christian's reaction before the modern world? A superficial consideration of the question is not likely to produce a satisfactory answer. And yet it is a matter that is bound to exercise all of us. I attempt an analysis at a deeper level in Christian optimism: and God's logic, recently published by the Homiletic and Pastoral Review. It is now posted on the site (among the English articles in the section marked 'General').

The Quest for Feminine Identity, the keynote address at the Washington DC 2009 conference sponsored by the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and subsequently published by Faith Magazine of the UK, is now also posted on the site. It can be found among the English articles in the 'Sexuality' section.

Some readers have asked which program is used for the website. It is Drupal, an open-source program. I started with Drupal 4; but now my webmaster has upgraded to Drupal 6. The upgrading explains temporary difficulties which some people had in accessing the site. They are now overcome - I hope - though some reediting still has to be done on the titles of a few non-English language books.

Readers will notice that new additions can be quickly consulted through the What’s New tab at the top right of the Homepage.

Re the 'you' version of the Knox Bible, work on the Psalms is going ahead apace; hopefully it will soon be possible to post it up.
