What is Christian Socialism? Have Christians always been Socialists?
In this article, I aim to explain the origins of ‘Christian Socialism’. I will attempt to analyse its basis on Biblical principles, and relate the massive effect it has had on history. I will mainly focus on Early Modern-Modern examples of this. From the Levellers to the socialists in Parliament today, Christians have been at […]
Make-up – to wear or not to wear?

The Reformation: what were the consequences?
Happy Reformation Day everyone! What was the Reformation you ask?

God’s Grace at work during the Second World War
Grace is such a wonderful and amazing conundrum (and I don’t use these terms loosely!). Throughout history, since the beginning of time itself, God has guided and protected us, through trials and tribulations, as well as bestowing upon the world His greatest gift. Every breath we take is another gift from God. How often do […]
