In August 2026, we welcomed Revd Dr James Beevers to the UTC Faculty.  As Lecturer in New Testament, James will teach Greek and New Testament across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.  Born in Switzerland, James moved to Germany, where he would later begin his theological education.  After earning his BA in Theology and starting his graduate studies toward an MA in Bonn, James transferred to Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia) where he completed his MDiv and PhD. His doctoral thesis centred on the book of Hebrews, and is currently being edited for publication. 

This episode contains the first part of Dr Beevers teaching a UTC lecture on Galatians & The History of the Interpretation of Paul.   Part 2 coming next week.

What can historical knowledge offer us in navigating the current challenges of our day?  And how does an awareness that we are part of a much larger story than our own generation or denomination benefit the Church.  This is exactly what Dr Matthew and Dr Martyn Cowan will be discussing in our episode today.

Back in Spring 2026, UTC’s ministry and deaconess students completed the Pastoral Care and Reflective Practice module.  This module covered a number of topics relevant to the practice of pastoral care within churches, one of which was caring for those with disabilities in PCI congregations.  Erin Burnett was one of the contributors to that module, and is the author of ‘With All Your Mind: Autism and the Church.’  In today’s episode, Erin joins Rev Gordon Best to share some of her research findings as well as her own personal experiences.
