History

LST was founded in the 1940s as the London Bible College and was originally situated on Baker Street in central London. In 1970 the college moved to Northwood on a campus previously occupied by the London College of Divinity, an Anglican institution. The 1990s saw the opening of a new postgraduate centre, the Guthrie Centre, which also houses the Centre for Islamic Studies. In 2004 the name of the college was changed to the London School of Theology.[1] Its faculty has included New Testament scholars Donald Guthrie, RT France, Ralph P. Martin[2] and Max Turner as well as Derek Tidball, a practical theologian and sociologist of religion. LST also had strong connections with the Anglican theologian John Stott, an important supporter and former council member of the college.[3]
