Just a reminder about the forthcoming lecture tour to the British Museum, London. We currently still have around five places available, so if you are interested it is not too late. Full details can be found here.

An article detailing Christian action was recently posted on the College blog which we want to encourage everyone to read. It can be found here: http://collegeblog.midbible.ac.uk/its-make-or-break-time-to-do-your-bit/. Please bring this to the attention of as many Christians as possible, as well as to your church. Many thanks.

Several Midlands Bible College and Divinity School lecturers have helped found a brand new academic journal, the Evangelical Review of Society and Politics, to be launched within the next few weeks. This peer-reviewed journal, which features various well-known, international Christian academics on its editorial board, explores the interaction between Christianity and politics at a time when faith is moving firmly away from the private sphere into the public square. Evangelicals especially are becoming inceasingly involved in politics, and this journal provides an important international forum for such debate. Full details of the aims, contents of the first edition, and subscription information can be found at www.evangelicalreview.com. To subscribe, visit the college's online shop.

The Midlands Bible College is currently working towards offering all its courses online. In other words, providing you have an internet connection, the whole learning experience will be available through your computer. Currently, we provide a great deal of online access and tutorial support, including an intranet containing theological resources, and also downloads of certain study materials. Yet most of the study packs are currently mailed to students in CD-Rom format. The disadvantages of such a system are obvious, for example, having to wait for postal deliveries, added administration (and therefore tuition) costs, and on the whole a slower distance learning experience. In a digital age, people are keen to progress at their own speed without having to wait for postal deliveries.
