The Bible is meant to be read in the church, by the church, as the church. Following the example of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Derek Taylor argues that we should regard the reading of Scripture as an inherently communal exercise of discipleship. In conversation with other theologians, Taylor shares how this approach to Scripture can engender a faithful hermeneutical community.

The only book to tell Magna Carta's story through places associated with it, through England and France to the USA
When Jews left the City and East End of London to live in the West End they needed a synagogue and started a branch of the Great Synagogue in 1855. From this came the Central Synagogue in Hallam Street in 1870. It was one of the founding houses of worship of the United Synagogue and destined to become one of the oldest synagogues in the country. Both the Central and the Great Synagogue were destroyed in the Blitz in 1941. The Great Synagogue was not rebuilt, but the Central was reconstructed in 1958, becoming the foremost synagogue in London, now in existence for over 150 years. Over the years it was fortunate enough to have ministers like Aaron Levy Green, Michael Adler and Cyril Shine, beside chazans like Aaron Stoutzker and Simon Hass. The Rothschilds were part of its history and the Wolfson family were wardens for many years. The book records events like Michael Adler’s time as a chaplain to the forces in World War I, the Midnight Hass service, and the continuity of weekday morning and evening services, which have been available to members, visitors and tourists throughout its long history. The history of the Central Synagogue is also a fascinating record of London Jewry.
The mid-20th century saw the birth of a new kind of big band/orchestral music in what came to be called 'Easy Listening'. Like its contemporary, rock 'n' roll, it took the world by storm, introducing romance and chic into a world brutalised by war.
