As we come together to launch and celebrate the Central and Eastern Bible Commentary, we cannot help but feel sadness that our friend, and general editor of the project, Corneliu Constantineanu, is not here to join us. However, we know that he is celebrating and giving thanks to God with us, alongside our Lord.

In remembrance of Corneliu, we sat down with longtime friends and colleagues, Marcel Măcelaru and Peter Pener, who shared some personal reflections with us.

Readers of the Bible and followers of Christ can now gain new insights as they study Scripture thanks to a recently launched one-volume commentary on the whole Bible. The Central and Eastern European Bible Commentary (CEEBC) is the result of several years of work from over 100 Bible scholars and theologians from Central and Eastern Europe. Spanning contributions from twenty countries within the region, this is the first work of its kind.

As the UK experiences some hot weather, Christians once again return to the Keswick Convention, located in the small Lake District town in North West England. 2021 is an exciting year for the Convention. Not only is it now possible to physically meet again, this Convention marks the ongoing refurbishment and increasing use of new site in the town, purchased by Keswick Ministries in 2015. The ministries of Langham and Keswick have long been closely connected, and this year sees several ministry staff past and present involved. As we enter the third and final week at Keswick here are some highlights to look out for.
