La tradition kénotique dans la théologie britannique. The work was commissioned by Joseph Doré while still Archbishop of Strasburg for the Desclée series Jesus et Jesus-Christ that he had been editing since his days as a professor at the Institut Catholique in Paris. It is due to be published in both French and English towards the end of 2010. In the central three historical chapters modern kenotic christology is traced in its different versions from its 19th century German origins through its Scottish advocates to key English exponents such as Charles Gore and thereafter. Chapters 1, 5 and 6 offer a defence.

In process
Editor of Durham Cathedral 993-2000: Community, Fabric and Culture (2011). This is intended as a large and definitive volume that draws on a wide range of expertise. Consisting of 31 essays, the work is divided into four sections: The Institution (an historical overview); Fabric and Furnishings; Worship and Spirituality; Letters and Learning. While some contributors are local to Durham, many have been drawn from much wider a-field as the obvious experts in the particular area concerned.
Revelation, Experience and Criteria (Ashgate, 2012). This will be a more technical work than the five OUP companion volumes, concerned as it is with a more formal development of criteria for the conclusions I have drawn in those volumes on revelation and religious experience. A conference on the volumes that is to be held in September 2010 and to which fifteen academic speakers have been invited will, I hope, clarify what needs to be done. Organised by two former research students who now hold posts in the Untied States, OUP has expressed interest in publishing the proceedings.
