Meet the third Indigenous student ever to attend Moore College

Meet the third Indigenous student ever to attend Moore College

by

I recently sat with Nathaniel “Jum” Naden to ask him some questions about his experience as an Aboriginal Christian man and gain his wisdom about how non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal Christians might progress in gospel fellowship together. (At Jum’s request, people should note that this discussion is quite complex and, though Jum is a developing Aboriginal Christian leader, he does not speak for all Aboriginal people everywhere. His answers are reflective of his experience and thoughts on the issue as they relate to the gospel.)

The Legacy of David Broughton Knox – Now Available

The Legacy of David Broughton Knox

Edited by Ed Loane

From the Publishers Website
Publisher’s Description

David Broughton Knox was one of the most influential Anglican leaders in the second half of the twentieth century. His long service as principal of Moore Theological College, Sydney, had an impact much further afield than that city. Along with this, the unique place Sydney Diocese has in the Anglican Communion has been significantly shaped by Knox’s ministry and theological priorities.

This volume is the result of a conference held in 2016 to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Knox’s birth. Theologians who were personally taught by Knox, along with those who belong to a younger generation, contribute to this work by critically engaging with various aspects of Knox’s theology and legacy. Subjects include the atonement, ecclesiology, sacramentology as well as the shaping of a theological institution. These academic contributions are complemented by personal accounts and anecdotes of Knox’s influence on some of the most influential evangelical leaders and academics in the world.

Contributors include Peter Jensen, Glenn Davies, Paul Barnett, Mark D. Thompson, Graeme Goldsworthy, Graham Cole, D. A. Carson, Andrew Leslie, Chase Kuhn, Edward Loane and Robert Doyle.

Integrity journal Vol 4 (2015)

by

Students in their fourth year of the Bachelor of Divinity degree at Moore Theological College have the opportunity to research and write a 5 000 word essay in Church History on some aspect of evangelicalism in Australia or Britain (post-1600). The excellent quality of some of these essays has encouraged the Church History Department to seek a way to share the fruits of the research and writing of these students with a broader audience. This is the reason for the launch of the journal Integrity.

The journal seeks not only to provide access to some of these quality essays, and thus commend the work of the contributors, but also to acknowledge that undergraduate research and writing can make a valuable contribution to the field. It is hoped the journal will stimulate current and future students to continue with research after they leave the College.
