Very excited to have my next book under contract with @BakerAcademic : 'The Gift of Suffering', out likely 2029/2030. This is a theology of suffering in Paul's letters, with an eye to contemporary implications/application.
Would love prayers as I wrestle and write the next 2yrs
Just to say, I think @LucySRAusten is brilliant and her biography of Elliot was so thought-provoking. I had such a wonderful discussion with her about it. Resharing the podcast to encourage people to consider actually engaging with Austen's work.
NEW EPISODE w/ Lucy S. R. Austen (@LucySRAusten), writer, editor, and author of the biography Elisabeth Elliot: A Life (@crossway).

In honour of St Michael and All Angels today, thinking about angels and 'the restrainer' in 2 Thess 2: sydneytooth.substack.com/p/s…
So honoured to be part of this excellent volume.
After nearly 2.5 years, my friends Annalisa, Paulus, & I submitted our manuscript for this forthcoming edited volume with @eerdmansbooks! We’re so thankful for the 17 contributors & their excellent work! Amy-Jill Levine said the essays were “magnificent.” Look for it next year!
I was taught HOMES as a memory device for the names of the Great Lakes. Will the mnemonic device now be SHAME?
Anyone else read Kuang's 'Babel'? I loved it and was inspired to write a little something about biblical interpretation and how translation is always an act of interpretation: open.substack.com/pub/sydney…
Absolutely brilliant time in Durham for #SNTS representing @IVPbookcentre @SPCKPublishing and partners, meeting with authors, and catching up with friends.
Now a bit of time off before the next conference - #BNTS2026 in Maynooth. Hope to see many of you there!
Loved this conversation! Such a great book and I'm such a fan of @KSPrior

Great to have my doktorvater Matt Novenson here at #TyndaleFellowship talking about Paul within Judaism and Christian theology
I recently read (and loved) Kuang's 'Katabasis'. I wrote some reflections on what it teaches us about human limitations and the pursuit of knowledge, and how that helps us think about AI: open.substack.com/pub/sydney…
Today is the feast of the Venerable Bede. Some reflections on visiting his tomb at Durham Cathedral years ago: open.substack.com/pub/sydney…
Some Madeleine L'Engle and Galatians - reflecting on what it means to be truly ourselves: open.substack.com/pub/sydney…
Trying to do some more writing, so have started up a Substack - would love for you to subscribe if you're interested. First post reflecting on Psalm 150 here: sydneytooth.substack.com/p/b…
So many important lessons to learn from this, which in my experience still haven't been learned by many in this constituency. So thankful for the bravery of those who spoke up.
Jonathan Fletcher is guilty of indecent assault - yet it is hard to underestimate how appalling the suffering has been for the victim and his family and how inadequate the public response has been to this verdict from those who purported to care for them. anglicanfutures.org/post/fle…
Sydney Tooth retweeted
From a survivor: "I am thankful for the verdict, but it grieves me that justice for many has been denied or delayed by church leaders who insisted there was ‘nothing criminal’ about Fletcher’s actions..." share.google/q5ddw2nJFRSxTCP…
I've had my comments removed and now been blocked by the Ortlund men on FB and Insta for asking questions like the attached about @daneortlund. They are systematically deleting any negative comments or questions. Not sure how this is a demonstration of transparency
