I say, Well done, Andrew

I think this is a courageous and helpful step. OST has ploughed a fairly widely heralded furrow over the years and you’ve been rightly credited with being the prime mover. To take the risk of a change such as this is, to my mind, to be applouded, in line as it is with the liminal nature of emerging theology.

Personally, I will admit that the direction OST had taken — as souls more theologically deft and apologetic than me took on your thesis in depth — had over time put me off maintaining a contributive presence, as I’d enjoyed in the earliest days.

I will now consider how my recent thesis: "The Eternal Purpose of God: A Biblical Theology of Covenant, Creation and Community" might be offered as such a contribution.
It is presently 20k words, with another 10k for appendices (relevant) and footnotes (could easily be cut).

From the Abstract:

The Thesis incorporates elements of Hebraic thought into a biblical theology of covenant, creation and community.

Thus it seeks to express the message of Scripture according to its own priorities, using biblical rather than philosophical terminolog, presenting the Bible’s own message within the framework of a primarily Hebraic worldview.

To aid recognition of vital theological threads woven throughout the biblical narratives, the Thesis continuously develops a graphical ‘panorama’ of the biblical narrative.

I could have asked you personally, but I thought that your answer here might be a helpful consideration for others who might have similar thoughts and contributions.
