Welcome to Scriptourer

Where Bible and Story come to play.

A riveting way to appreciate the riches of Sacred Scripture is to savour the power of its stories and characters. Wisdom is woven deep into the narratives. How the stories are told, why certain personalities take centre stage, what truths are offered up - it’s all there. Unending inspiration, sprinkled with a heavy dusting of mystery.

Discover how the Bible is the architecture of Story!


About

In the inconceivable event we’re not yet familiar, here’s an ironic version of me under the poking acrylics of brushmaster, Ben East.

I’m author of novella The Pelican Crossing (now universally available), a numinous and heartbreaking story about the struggles of two London teenagers to be together across gang divides.

You can find The Substack Edition and my other breathlessly celebrated short stories and flash fiction here…

Reflections here are free and it’s my intention to keep them so as I understand this work as part of my Christian vocation. Thank you for the many people who have made pledges. I really appreciate the kind gesture of support.

If you really, really insist then may I suggest buying my novella. You can always give it away if it’s not your cup of cocoa!


Join the conversation

Please do feel free to comment on any of the reflections - the plan is to build in lively discussion around these topics.

You’ll be joining a community of the biblically openminded, talking fireside tales and laughing loud and long into the soulless digital night.
