Have you ever heard of “A Who Run Tings?” and “De Krismos Story”? If you are Jamaican and you’ve never, SHAME ON YOU! “A Who Run Tings?” and “Di Krismos Story” are dramatic presentations of selected New Testament stories into Jamaican Creole. The translation and Audio production were spearheaded by the Bible Society [...]
Before I post an article on reading the Gospels, I would like to know how unu read dem. Do you try to copy and paste information for all the gospels so as to create a coherent whole? That is, do you read parallel texts and try fitting all the information together? How do [...]
NONE of us come to the Bible without presuppositions, biases, and preunderstandings – “no not one, no not one”! We cannot avoid it – it’s irresistible! An example of this is what comes to most of our minds when we hear the word “prophecy” (or its related words, eg. prophets, prophetic, etc). [...]

In pt 1, we noted that Jesus is the primary message of the entire Bible and that, as a result, we should *always* read the Scriptures with this in mind. I was about to jot down some examples from the Old Testament; however, I just came across something John Piper has written on the [...]
We’ll be discussing this very important topic over the next few months (with breaks here and there, for sure).
Some time ago, I encouraged you to read the Bible, bearing its primary message in mind. Actually, this point is very important to how we interpret the Bible. We’ll look into this some [...]
Yo, a’ve been thinking of da mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, awe-striking, worship-arousing, and evangelism-compelling doctrine of God’s choice of a people for Himself in the Lord Jesus Christ. As I was thinking, ma favourite song ever came to mind – “Before the Throne of God Above.” Da sang ya uol still. It was written by a bloke [...]
When I was filling out my membership application form for Wycliffe Bible Translators, Caribbean, I came across a question which caused me to pause and think hard. The question pertained to the possibility of my corps not returning to Jamaica, were I to die/be killed on the mission field. I guess the question hit me in the face because I was [...]
What one word would you use to summarise yourself? Loving, tight, trendy, mean, nerdy, friendly, beautiful/handsome, geek, hott…? Hmmm… Well, there is one word which best summarises the entire Bible – Jesus! What is remarkable is that this is so even though the Bible contains 66 books that were written over a period of about [...]
The Bible is full of contradictions; it doesn't stand the test of science; it was written by white men to fool blacks; it's irrelevant, it's too difficult to understand; it has been the source of too much hostility... . How many times have you heard these and/or similar criticisms of the Bible? These are some of the issues West Indian Christian youths will face increasingly as the come into contact with more "educated" folk.
In this column, we'll discuss issues relating to the world's bestseller-the Bible. How should we interpret the Bible, does it contain contradictions, and how do we apply it to our contemporary West Indian concerns?
