Welcome to Oxford Bible Tours
The purpose of our tours is to allow Jehovah’s Witnesses and interested ones to
explore the rich and fascinating history and museums of Oxford in a way that
strengthens their faith in the Bible as a book of truth.
Please note that Oxford Bible Tours is not a business. We operate on an informal,
personal basis, conducting tours as and when they are requested. We do not charge
for our tours, neither do we accept monetary donations. Whilst we very much
appreciate the generous spirit of those who attend our tours, we would much rather
any such donations be directed to the worldwide work of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Details of the tours we offer are provided below. All 4 tours are available on Zoom.
The only in-person tour we offer is “Oxford University and Its Bible Champions.” To
find out more, and how you can either book an in-person tour, or book/join a Zoom
tour, please click the relevant tab in the menu above.
THE TOURS
Oxford University & Its Bible Champions
We will discover how the University’s unique ‘collegiate’ system developed and learn about some of the champions of the Bible who lived and worked here, such as John Wyclif and William Tyndale. See where the very first English Bible was translated, and learn about the University’s links to the King James Bible.
The Geological Record - Where Does the Evidence Lead?
This tour examines exhibits displayed in the University Museum of Natural History in the light of recently published scientific research. In doing so the tour raises some thought-provoking questions about the validity of the standard view of the geological record.
John Wyclif "Flower of Oxford”
This tour focuses on the life and activities of 14th Century scholar John Wyclif. Who was he? Why was he called “The Flower of Oxford”? And what impact did his teachings have, if any, on the 16th Century Reformation triggered by Martin Luther? By the end of the tour you will have become better acquainted with this extraordinary Oxford Bible Champion and his beliefs.
The Genesis Account: Crossing Cultures
This tour is based on exhibits in the Ashmolean Museum and follows the theme of “Crossing Cultures, Crossing Time” adopted by the Museum for the new display strategy it set up in 2009. In this tour we examine artefacts from some of the oldest known cultures and their associated mythologies to consider if we can discern any connections with the account of man’s origins found in the Bible book of Genesis..
