The manuscript went off to the publisher last week. So I am delighted to suggest that you keep your eyes peeled for "Immense, Unfathomed, Unconfined": The Grace of God in Creation, Church and Community (Melbourne: Mosaic Press, 2013). The volume is a collection of essays exploring different aspects of the theme of grace in biblica, theological and Methodist traditions, all in honour of Professor Emeritus Norman Young. The papers were initially given at a Conference for Norman held here in November 2010. I have been the Editor, and have an essay on 2 Corinthians 8–9 in the volume. The full table of contents is as follows:
