In this article Dr Firth proposes that canonical approaches illuminate how language about God’s reign in the Psalms is applied to the needs of the community; Jesus’s proclamation of the Kingdom likewise addressed his hearers’ real experiences.

In this article Dr Wilson sets out how recent archaeological discoveries undermine the prevailing hydrological understanding of the temperature metaphor in Revelation 3:15-16, and advances a fresh hypothesis relating the metaphor to Laodicea’s material culture – specifically the Roman bathhouse.
