BibleFresh Saturdays @ LST
It’s never too late to start benefiting from BibleFresh! This autumn sees the LST lecture series start studying the New Testament, making it an ideal time either to get involved again or to start from scratch.
Through the entire academic year of 2011–12, LST is hosting a series of study days. This is part of our contribution to the BibleFresh initiative. The series will significantly develop your appreciation and understanding of the Bible. Speakers have been drawn both from the LST faculty and major British Evangelical scholars. Each day will be a complete experience in and of itself. As a whole experience, though, our study days will provide an excellent introduction to different parts of Scripture. We believe this will have a direct impact on your understanding of the Bible.
The whole event comprises a total of ten Saturdays. We start with seven sessions on the New Testament, with a further three sessions in Spring 2012 when we conclude by thinking about the Bible itself.
Who would want to come?
These study days are particularly suited for beginners to theological discussion and investigation. You're looking for something far beyond a recitation of the contents of the different parts of the Bible; any of us can get that just from reading it. You want someone to explain the background issues that provide the biblical worldview. You'll be keen to have the toughest of issues raised. You’re not afraid to think through the most challenging of problems, though you know full well that you won't work to a ‘final’ answer in a single day. At LST you'll discover a safe environment in which to explore things. We're not in the entertainment business, but we promise you a stimulating day of lectures, interaction and discussion.
So if you want to be stretched, to be stirred up, or want to have a go at chewing some meat, then you'll find this an ideal series.
Content for each Day
There will be four teaching sessions per Saturday, each 50 minutes long. The day formally starts at 10am (sharp) and finishes at 3:30pm.
Visiting Speakers
In addition to members of the current LST faculty, we are very pleased to have several distinguished Evangelical scholars joining us. Both are renowned both for their scholarship and for the accessibility of their teaching.
We’re particularly pleased to welcome Antony Billington for a day’s teaching on his core subject. Now at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity, Antony has continued to provide high quality training in a wide range of situations.
William Atkinson, previously Principal of the Regent’s Theological College, is one of our Associate Research Faculty. He brings a wealth of experience in both church ministry and academia to create an easy communication style.

“I generally go home fizzing from the LST Saturdays.” Eoin Russell
“Thank you so very much for Saturday's session - I absolutely loved it all. You have a wonderful teaching style, making everyone feel relaxed and valued and safe to ask all sorts of things. I'm a secondary teacher and hope that my students are sometimes as inspired as I felt in your sessions at various points during the day!” Helen Stacey
