Unlike most commentaries\, this can be read as literature. The style is conversational: it works not verse by verse\, but chapter by chapter. You can read a review of Prof Ford’s book in Church Times. \nWe have enjoyed our partnership with Prof Ford\, and were delighted to invite him not only to deliver a a lecture last September\, but also to host a special evening in Harrogate with some previous study group alumni. \nDue to a lot of interest in running a study group again\, we are delighted to be able to offer 2 study groups starting in October 2026\, and running to Easter 2027. One group will run on Thursday evenings\, and the other on Sunday evenings – you can sign up for either Thursdays or Sundays\, and will remain in that group for the duration. \nOver six months we will read a chapter per week of David Ford’s commentary and meet on-line once a week to discuss it with fellow learners for an hour. \nTo join one of our study groups we ask you to: \n\nCommit to coming to every session:\n\nevery Sunday for the Sunday group\nevery Thursday for the Thursday group\n\n\nAcquire a copy of David Ford’s commentary\nRead the relevant chapter in advance of each session\n\n\nRegister Now\nTo register\, please join one the relevant e-mail groups: \nSign up for Sundays\nSign up for Thursdays\n\n\nSpaces are limited\, and we will close registration once each group is full. We need a minimum number of members for each group\, and we will not run a group that is not viable. You will not be able to see other member’s details\, or they yours. \nComments from previous groups\n“The Gospel of John discussions became something of a focal point around which my week was orientated. Each interesting and enlightening discussion took place in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere under the expert guidance of our group leader\, and I look forward to doing something similar again soon.”\nPaul\n“The weekly discussion sessions on Ford’s commentary have been a rich opportunity in which to explore our individual and group thoughts and responses. The meetings have provided a safe and supportive context for careful listening and deep sharing.”\nBeverley and Dennis\n
