Our modular system of instruction allows us to bring lecturers from other locations in South Africa and overseas who are specialists in their fields. We have greatly appreciated the teaching ministries of such individuals as Henry Krabbendam, Francis Nigel Lee, Robert Martin, O. Palmer Robertson, and Peter Smuts.

It has also been our privilege in various courses to utilize guest lecturers from the English Reformed Church, which have included Pastors Patrick Stevenson, Michael Marsland, and Rui Da Silva. In addition to our regular curriculum, students have also benefited from seminar speakers (at times in connection with other organizations) such as Michael Horton, Jerry Bridges, Noel Weeks, Jack Whytock, and Gordon Keddie. The following represents our current faculty who teach on either a full-time or regular guest basis.

Bob was studying to be a Medical Doctor at the Penn State College of Medicine when the Lord called him to pastoral ministry studies in 1988. He first came to Wycliffe as a guest lecturer in 1998 and has since then received a call from the English Reformed Church to lecture on a full-time basis beginning in July 2002. The Presbyterian Church in America ordained Bob before he came to South Africa to commence these labors. In addition to his teaching, he administrates the college. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on John Bunyan's Holy War seeking to show that the allegory was written primarily as a Scriptural history of redemption. Bob and his wife Sharon live in the greater Johannesburg area with their six children Leanne, Laura, Joshua, John, and Joseph, and Lydia.

John served in the United States Navy as a Nuclear Submarine Officer on the USS Bluefish from 1983-85 earning the Navy Achievement medal. He served in the Navy Reserves from 1986-91 and reached the rank of Lieutenant Commander. John's doctoral dissertation dealt with the protoevangelion of Genesis 3:15 surveying the historical interpretation of the verse and analyzing its meaning from a biblical theological perspective especially as it relates to the curse on the serpent. Commissioned as a Christian Worker by Immanuel Leidy's Church in Souderton, PA, the Lord brought John and his family to South Africa in 1998 to teach Hebrew and Old Testament at the Bible Institute of Southern Africa in Kalk Bay. Having labored as a guest lecturer at John Wycliffe since 1996, he received a call from the ERC to lecture full time in June 2004. He became a pastor at the ERC in May 2005. John's main responsibilities at the college include lecturing in Hebrew and the Old Testament, though he will also teach Greek and certain New Testament courses. He is also busy writing especially in light of the misguided scholarship so prevalent in Old Testament studies. John and his wife, Linda, live in the greater Johannesburg area with their children, Laurel, Joel, Jared, and Jonathan.

God used Jim in an instrumental way to establish the college, where he continues to maintain an important administrative function and serves as the academic dean. As the only full-time lecturer for the first several years of the College, he has taught the majority of courses offered. Still, his focus is Greek and New Testament and Systematic Theology. He is laboring to finish his doctoral studies in theology and has a special concern with the hermeneutics of theological ethics. He is busy with his doctoral dissertation concerning Paul's use of the term "nature" in Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 11 and its relationship with decalogical ethics. Jim and his wife Pat live in the greater Johannesburg area. Jim's children, Laurie-Anne, Samuel, Joshua, Nathan, and Stephen, reside in England.
