BELFAST BIBLE COLLEGE OUR LECTURERS H E L E N WARNOCK D R K A R E N FULTON DR CHARLIE HADJIEV D R P E T E R MCDOWELL Practical Theology New Testament and Hellenistic Greek Old Testament Study and Hebrew Missiology Helen brings vast ministry leadership experience; having worked in the local church, with Youth For Christ NI and then for 13 years as the Director of Scripture Union Northern Ireland. She is passionate about seeing people of all ages grow and develop in their faith, and is particularly invested in seeing people engage with their context and wrestle with the complexity of living out their faith in Jesus in these times. Karen has lived in London, where she worked as a computer consultant, and Kenya, where she taught in a theological college. Living in another culture in Kenya was a key experience in Karen’s life, developing in her an interest in considering how much our understanding of the Bible is influenced by our own, often unconscious and unrecognised, cultural assumptions which can impede an accurate understanding of the Biblical text. Charlie grew up in communist Bulgaria and saw a Bible for the first time when he was at University. Reading the story of Jesus transformed his life. This led to studying theology and eventually completing doctoral research at Oxford. He has served as General Secretary of a Christian student movement in Bulgaria, an Academic Dean of a theological college in Sofia, an Associate Regional Secretary for IFES Europe, and a coleader of a new church plant in Bulgaria. Peter spent almost six years working with the United Mission to Nepal, first as an engineer then as coordinator of the Language and Orientation Programme for new expatriate missionaries. As a Presbyterian minister he has served congregations in Limerick and Belfast, the Irish Churches Peace Project and the Church Mission Department. He is interested in the relationship between gospel and culture and in appropriate forms of spirituality for the post- Christendom context. 20
PROSPECTUS 2020 DR JOY ALLAN Practical Theology and Missiology Joy ‘accidentally’ took a theology class in her first year of an MA in English and fell in love with it, to the point of changing her degree; she has been in love with theology ever since. She has been training with and working for churches of various denominations, working in social/mental health care, and teaching in the UK and Italy. It is her care for the marginalised, passion for teaching, and love of theology, which forms her theological outlook. Her work was based in Pentecostal/ Charismatic churches, which has formed much of her own personal and professional context. DR CINDY BROWN Systematic and Historical Theology Cindy was introduced to systematic theology in her early 30s, which was a simultaneous discovery of a language to understand the deep things of faith and her vocation of being a theologian. Alongside this, her mission experience across four continents impressed upon her that there is a host of ways to express what the Church believes, but there remains one core to it all: Jesus Christ and Him crucified, resurrected and ascended. DR WILLIAM FORD Old Testament Study and Hebrew Before and in between studying theology, William spent two periods in London, firstly a gap year with the London City Mission, and secondly training to be a chartered accountant. His aim is not just to give students more knowledge of the Old Testament, but also to inspire them to study it further themselves. 21
