Friday Night Theology

Friday Night Theology is a section of the Alliance website that is here to help as you engage with the world this weekend.

Many of us spend our weekends talking about the events of the week with friends and family who aren't Christians. These pages will provide a means by which Jesus can join in the discussion. Our underlying premise is that Jesus Christ is Lord of all, and so whatever has arisen this week in the world of politics, media, sport or culture, Jesus has something to say.

Our approach will be to provide comment on some 'event' of the week. The 'event' could be anything from a news item to a storyline in Coronation Street. It may be a piece of legislation that has been passed, or a new scientific discovery. Whatever it is, it will have happened this week.

We aim not so much to feed as to equip: to give you an insight into something that has happened that you can share with those you spend time with. At times the 'event' will have captured the headlines; at other times it will have hardly been noticed. Either way, you will have a tool that you can use to allow Jesus into the conversation.

We also hope the site will prove to be a useful resource for preachers as they speak into their congregations lives this weekend.

We aim to provide these comments by 5pm each Friday.

Quality Statistics? 9 May 2008
Once again, it would seem the media have been misleading us. Yesterday, it was revealed that in the 2005 British Comedy Awards the winners of the People’s Choice Award were not in fact the people’s choice.
 
Austrian Horror 2 May 2008
Few news stories these days have the power to shock us. Whether it’s teenagers being stabbed in South London or genocide in Africa, we think we’ve seen and heard it all before. Yet, this week’s revelations from Austria will probably have changed all that.
 
Social Trends 25 Apr 2008
Every year, the government produces an annual report detailing the Social Trends of the United Kingdom. This year’s report has just been released and its section on religious participation is making the atheists angry.
 
The indifferent culture 18 Apr 2008
At the weekend, Eleanor Mills, writing in The Sunday Times, described an occasion where a whole bus full of people failed to intervene to stop a violent offender.
 
Remembering Martin Luther King 4 Apr 2008
As they say in politics and media, “timing is everything”. So I was pleasantly surprised to see the BBC 2 documentary last Saturday night on Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, coming a week before the 40th anniversary of King’s death today.
