Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

William Tyndale and the making of the English Reformation - April 2026
Q: You've mentioned the Lollard translation; is the Lollard translation any good and what are its limitations?
The Lollard translation is fascinating but limited because it relies on the Latin Vulgate rather than original Hebrew and Greek; it reflects the transitional state of English biblical scholarship prior to the 16th century, and it helped set the stage for later reforms even as it constrained linguistic influence by lacking access to original languages.
William Tyndale and the making of the English Reformation - April 2026
Q: One interesting question is that some accounts of Tyndale make him sound like a rather stubborn and prickly person. Would you think that would be an accurate description of him?
Yes, he was stubborn in pursuing his one main objective—to translate the Bible into English and make it accessible, even if it meant defying authorities and risking exile. His tenacity underpins his success and the risks he accepted.
A Master Class on Being Human; bridging divides for a better world - 21 Oct 2025
Q: What does hope mean for you?
I articulate hope as a life orientation rooted in the subjunctive mood, not just a certainty in future outcomes.
A Master Class on Being Human; bridging divides for a better world - 21 Oct 2025
Q: When you were invited to preach to Brad's congregation, what did you say?
I shared my personal narrative and how I reached this point, including my childhood experiences in Buffalo and my journey in the church.
Churchill and St Paul's: Icons of the finest hour - Sept 2025
Q: What tips from studying Churchill's archives can help someone learn to speak powerfully like him?
Packwood suggests visiting the Churchill Archive Centre and studying his speech notes, which were formatted to provide rhythm and emphasis.
