To celebrate the launch of the Revised New Jerusalem Bible in 2019, DLT commissioned a series of study guides based on the new translation by Catholic writers Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Virginia Moffatt, Bernadette Meaden and Denise Cottrell-Boyce.

In this series of conversations, the authors reflect on what the Bible means to them and how it can help them understand the themes discussed in the guides. Join us on Wednesday evenings in January and reflect with us, the meaning behind 'God's love letter' to us.

January 6th: Forgiveness. Is forgiveness possible, or even right, whatever the circumstances? Can you forgive someone and still be angry? What will forgiveness do for me? Virginia Moffatt (series editor) discusses what the Bible has to say on 'forgiveness' with author and screenwriter, Frank Cottrell-Boyce.

January 13th: Approaching the End of Life. Is death something to be feared? What is the point of a funeral? How should we prepare for one? Can it ever be right to allow, or even to help, someone to die? The author and screen Frank Cottrell-Boyce speaks to Virginia Moffatt (series editor) about how to live in the knowledge that death is inevitable.

January 20th: Illness, Disability and Caring. How can our church communities embrace God's message of radically inclusive love? Why does society treat people as 'other' and what should our Christian response be? Are there limits to being a carer? Writer Denise Cottrell-Boyce discusses Bernadette Meaden's thoughtful study guide with series editor Virginia Moffatt.

January 27th: Welcoming the Stranger. What does it mean to be a stranger in a strange land? Why do we fear refugees? What limits are there to welcoming the stranger and how might we overcome them? Virginia Moffatt series editor talks to writer Denise Cottrell-Boyce about her understanding of this topic drawn from Bible reflections and her experiences volunteering with refugees.
