A week ago, Reform UK showed through local elections that fear or resentment of immigration is gaining popularity in this country, as it has already done in some other European countries. Religion should not be guided by political views but it can provide a moral compass for them, so we need to discern God's will regarding our attitude to migration. This Thinking Aloud discussion will offer us an opportunity to share insights into this important subject. Do join us.

This evening, I will look at some radical literary rewritings of biblical tropes, concentrating on those of Uriah, Job, and Mary Magdalene. Beginning with a run-through of terms useful in the classification of types of rewriting (most people are familiar with "Sequel" and "Prequel"), we will trace the outline reception histories of these three tropes and consider the proposition that meaning is added to texts through time and that the quest for the "original meaning" can be illusory, or at least severely limiting.
