Stephen Travis (1967)
I've been a local preacher since 1967, having done my apprenticeship in small village chapels in Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire.
My other life has been as a teacher of New Testament at St John's College, Bramcote. Now retired from my job I continue my long-term enthusiasm for helping people engage thoughtfully with the Bible’s message and to apply it to their own lives. To this end I have written several books, particularly about the Christian hope (a tricky topic!) and about using the Bible.
More recent ones include The Bible in Time, Exploring the New Testament, and contributions to "Foundations21", a web-based course on Christian discipleship available from Bible Reading Fellowship.
As a preacher, I want my contribution to enable people to learn more about their faith and gain confidence in sharing it with others. I love Paul’s words about ‘treasure in clay jars’ (2 Corinthians 4:7). Clay jars, yes – but what treasure!
