I’ve had three good runs in a row — strong and steady, but I feel knackered when I get back. Hearty breakfast, Morning Prayer, lots of church work. Keeping busy, trying to remember to blog every day. Or every third day, anyway.
Back in Glasgow, I had a wonderful conversation with Simon Dürr, one of whose projects is to translate William Wrede’s essays from Vorträge und Studien; that includes ‘Die biblische Kritik innerhalb des theologischen Studiums’, an essay I used in my thesis. I’ve gone back to the translation I made for myself to see how it compares to Simon’s translation. Wrede was a brilliant reader of the New Testament, but he was a resolutely modern reader.
