In Context is a weekly radio show broadcast each Monday evening and now brought to you as a podcast.
My name is Patrick, I’m one of life’s strugglers but I’ve come to find strength and hope in the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. He’s my teacher, and I’m learning to follow him throughout life’s journey.
I’ve been reading and Learning and studying and thinking about the Scriptures for more years than I can remember. And I've been greatly blessed with opportunities to teach others over the years, in all sorts of places and in all different kinds of circumstances.
This show has evolved over the months, and will likely continue to do so as I try to work out what works best – so I welcome all feedback from my listener! I've tried to see things in their historical and literary contexts, along with considering something of the missional matters to be drawn out of the text.
So come with me on a journey through the Scriptures, beginning with the writings of Luke.

One of the things which has, for a long time, been of great concern to me when we are reading the Scriptures, is that we learn to read and understand them in context. Whether we are reading about Jesus or of events which happened long before his time, we are reading of things which took place in a different age from that in which we live today, and within cultures far removed from our own.
As we explore Scripture, within its many contexts, we’re going to begin with the writings of Luke. I suppose this will be something of a study of Luke-Acts, but hopefully we’ll address some useful matters of what we might want to call ‘Biblical interpretation’ along the way. And I’ve chosen the writings of Luke, not only because I particularly enjoy them, but because I find them to be so terribly useful.
