More Distinct by Calvin Samuel
The Word of God is a powerful weapon; it has the power to challenge, strengthen and shape us. And yet, due to our increasingly short-term attention spans and noisy, fast-paced lives, many young people are struggling to find time to read it. The more BOOKS series seeks to address this problem. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blogposts on a theme, this series will afford readers the space (whether it be 5 minutes on the tube, or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way. In culture today we are often told that it is 'good to be bad', with holiness being seen as negative (holier than thou!) or wildly unattainable. In more DISTINCT, Principle at the London School of Theology, Calvin Samuel, invites us to unpick and explore what it truly means to be holy in culture today.
The Revd Dr Samuel became Principal of London School of Theology in January 2017. Previously, Calvin was Academic Dean of St John’s College & Director of Wesley Study Centre at the University of Durham. His previous roles include Research Administrator in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing within the University of Manchester and Assistant Director of Research & Faculty Administration at London Business School. He was awarded his PhD for a multidisciplinary thesis exploring the interplay between biblical studies, church history and education entitled: Holiness & Holy School. He teaching specialism is New Testament and Leadership in Christian ministry and he is passionate about holiness and Christian discipleship. Dr Samuel has been the preacher in the House of Commons, for the BBC Sunday Service, and is a presenter for Prayer for the Day and The Daily Service on BBC Radio 4.
