The Papers
Everything in this room is finished and offered freely. Each paper carries its own licence, stated on its own page, because the terms that suit one piece of work do not always suit another.
If you want to reproduce something and the licence does not cover what you have in mind, write to the permissions address at the foot of this page. A clear request is usually answered the same week.
- 2026 Understanding the Nature of Humanity An anthropological framework for Christian doctrine. The Neo-Trichotomy model — body, soul and spirit, with the soul carrying reason and the spirit carrying moral volition and the image of God — tested across the image of God, sin, redemption, sanctification, the Incarnation, the Cross, the Trinity and the love of God.
- 2026 Jesus Is Fully Human and Fully God Here is how — and why it does not mean a second God. Written for Christians asked about Jesus by Muslim friends: what the two traditions already agree on, where exactly they part, and why the charge of adding a partner to God does not hold. A companion to the paper above.
- 1987 The Nature of Man: A Paradigm Revolution The original. Written and defended in the Intensified Studies Program at George Fox College, and shelved in the college library since. The same five doctrines, tested for the first time, in the form the case was first made.
