MidBible Students: Interact Now!

We’ve just launched several a new forum feature on the Midlands Bible College’s Virtual Campus, greatly adding to the college’s interactive distance learning programmes. Log in and have a look. In time, as the two new categories are exploited by students, various new forums will be added. For now, play around with the new forums and make yourself aware of their features. See this new feature as a valuable resource to interact with the Midlands Bible College community (both staff and fellow students) concerning a whole range of issues, including asking and discussing theological questions, posting information on resources, sharing news, socialising and forging friendships, asking fellow students about course-related issues, and so on. The software permits you to edit your profile, change how the forum looks on your screen, upload an image (avatar), set up messaging when new posts are added etc.

Book review of Melanie Phillips’ “Londonistan”

In the last edition of the Evangelical Review of Society and Politics, Midlands Bible College and Divinity School tutor Chris Lazenby wrote a useful review of Daily Mail and Spectator coulmnist Melanie Phillips’ Londonistan. Anyone interested in the current British social and political milieu, especially in relation to Islam, religious expression, anti-Semitism and political correctness, should take a look at Chris’ excellent review, which concentrates specifically on the columnist’s take on the interaction between state and religion in Britain today. The article can be found on the Midlands Bible College and Divinity School’s theological resources page, which also includes various other theological articles.

Bible Translation Thoughts

The Midlands Bible College is blessed to have Andy Cheung recently join and begin working with us, both as a Biblical Studies tutor and a highly skilled coordinator of student resources. He is the person currently updating the college’s virtual campus with various new valuable resources, providing students with access to many excellent resources for their studies. Andy is also a scholar, having recently embarked on his third degree, a Ph. D. in the field of Bible translation at the University of Birmingham, England.

From now on, Andy will be contributiing various thoughts on the issue of Bible translations under a new category for this  theological blog, entitled Bible Translation Thoughts. Andy’s approach to his task of updating the college’s virtual campus has been highly pastoral, seeking to provide his students and readers with practical tips, theological analysis, and access to good, solid, thought-provoking resources aimed not only at encouraging debate, but also equipping students to be more effective in their ministry as they prepare to meet the challenges of serving God in the twenty-first century. Given his style and approach, his blog entries in the field of Bible translation promise to be exciting and relevant and we look forward to his contributions. We trust you will enjoy them also.
