Hello all –
I wanted to let you know that I gave a talk online by zoom for CMJ-UK on September 10 that was called “The Good News Starts in Genesis.” It is an introduction to the series I’ll be giving in July 2026 at their annual conference in Yarnfield Park, UK, called “Reading the Bible as an Insider.” More details at the link.
I started off with some spicy stories from my teenage struggles with the Bible. I came from a church background that loved the New Testament but had serious issues with the rest of the text. I tell some of what learning about our Jewish context has taught me about the Bible, but then share about a fascinating new source of insights I’ve found. One thing I’ve realized is that while I used to think the good news started in the New Testament, it’s there from the very beginning.
You can now view the talk I gave below:

CMJ stands for the Church’s Ministry to the Jews, and refers to the Anglican church in the United Kingdom.
The mission of CMJ-UK:
“We believe the mandate God has given to us is to be a witness to the Jewish People about the Messiah, and to educate the Church on the Jewish roots of her faith and understanding that God has not finished with Israel. We also believe that God is doing a restorative work between His people, as through Yeshua the dividing walls between us are being broken down.”

Hi Lois!
Your book in Dutch translation is in my house for several months now. I love the fascinating introduction! Especially your statement that understanding one crucial Hebrew word can already give much more and refreshing understanding of the Scripture and of Jesus’ preaches. Look forward to reading the book. But finding rest to read it is a challenge unfortunately. Now I found your website and plans to come over to Europe next year. UK is abroad for me, but I ‘ll think about joining the UK conference. Nice that you ‘ll give a first introduction to your talks on this conference in September!
Will the online event be subtitled? How can one register for the online event?
with kind regards
PS The name of the UK organisation is a bit confusing for me – does not reflect the vice versa movement from Christians to Jews and back as stated in the mission. Their mission fascinates me..
