OLD TESTAMENT THEOLOGY: The "OT" bit references historical, literary, cultural issues (the particulars), the "theology" bit references the Big Picture (and why it matters). These two poles are expressed in the title. This blog concerns everything in between.

About Me

My photo
Phil Sumpter
Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
I'm a technological numpty, so setting up this blog is probably the most significant e-experience I've had since I got hotmail about ten years ago. However, the thirst for dialogue partners and an urge to express has forced me out of the comfort of my office into the excting (and scary) new world of cyberspace. Mal sehen was passiert!
