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.  I have a 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 as a Whole and Exploring the New Testament. I am currently writing material for a web-based course on Christian discipleship, soon to be launched by the 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!
