Biblical Hermeneutics, or Bible Interpretation, may not sound the most fun or exciting subject to study but among comments made by previous students are:

• “I now understand the Bible so much better than I used to”
• “even in my own devotions I am getting more out of my Bible than before”

In this module we’ll give you the tools to correctly understand and apply the teaching of any part of God’s Word, and it also provides the necessary foundation for teaching or preaching the Bible.  We promise you that it is not as dull as you might at first think! Our Principal reckons it’s one of his very favourite subjects. When Paul tells Timothy to be an unashamed workman, “rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 15), he is, by implication, highlighting the fact that there are incorrect ways of handling the Scriptures. This important course will keep you right.

Over 30 Wednesday afternoons through the College year, starting on 1st October 2025, our Principal, John Brand, will introduce you to the ‘Golden Rules’ of interpreting the Bible and give you the ‘tools’ necessary to rightly handle the word of truth.  This course would be of immense value, not only to those who are preparing to teach or preach God’s Word but, indeed, to all believers who want to get more out of their Bibles.

You can audit the course – simply taking part, enjoying the teaching and online fellowship, and benefitting from lots of notes and materials, or you can submit assessments – completing an assignment for marking and gaining EBC study credits.

For auditing, the cost for the whole year-long course is £450; for assessments it is £600. This amount can be paid in three termly instalments.
