My name is Andrew Perriman. My wife, Belinda, and I have lived in various parts of the world over the last 28 years: the Far East, Africa, the Middle East, the Netherlands, and London. Until recently we lived in Dubai, a stone’s throw from the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. We are now back in London.
I’ve combined theological studies and writing with pastoral and missional work in a wide range of contexts. Belinda works in the oil industry.
My overriding theological interest at the moment is in how we retell the biblical story as we negotiate the difficult transition from the centre to the margins of our culture following the collapse of Western Christendom.
For an introduction to this site see The narrative premise of a post-Christendom theology.
In addition to some articles in academic journals, I have written Speaking of Women: Interpreting Paul (IVP, 1998); The Coming of the Son of Man: New Testament Eschatology for an Emerging Church (Paternoster, 2005); Otherways (OST, 2007); Re: Mission: Biblical Mission for a Post-Biblical Church (Faith in An Emerging Culture) (Paternoster, 2007); The Future of the People of God: Reading Romans Before and After Western Christendom (Wipf and Stock, 2010); and I edited a report for the Evangelical Alliance in the UK entitled Faith, Health and Prosperity: A Report on ‘Word of Faith’ and ‘Positive Confession’ Theologies (Paternoster, 2003), also published in the US.
I am also part of Christian Associates, a wonderful organization that seeks to develop open, creative communities of faith for the emerging culture. I should stress, though, that the views expressed on this blog do not necessarily coincide with the position of Christian Associates on the matters discussed.
