UTC Podcast

Can philosophical reasoning of the existence of God lead us toward the God of the Bible?  If  God exists, what does that tell us about who we are, why God has made us and what it means to be wanted into existence?  Join Dr Gaven Kerr and Dr Graham Shearer as they explore these questions.

In August 2026, we welcomed Revd Dr James Beevers to the UTC Faculty.  As Lecturer in New Testament, James will teach Greek and New Testament across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.  Born in Switzerland, James moved to Germany, where he would later begin his theological education.  After earning his BA in Theology and starting his graduate studies toward an MA in Bonn, James transferred to Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia) where he completed his MDiv and PhD. His doctoral thesis centred on the book of Hebrews, and is currently being edited for publication.  This episode contains the first part of Dr Beevers teaching a UTC lecture on Galatians & The History of the Interpretation of Paul.   Part 2 coming next week.  Follow Union Theological College on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and X.  Email us at [email protected].  

What can historical knowledge offer us in navigating the current challenges of our day?  And how does an awareness that we are part of a much larger story than our own generation or denomination benefit the Church.  This is exactly what Dr Matthew and Dr Martyn Cowan will be discussing in our episode today.
