Dr Iain Hepburn

Iain Hepburn could be deemed an ICC success story. A former teacher in Aberdeen, he studied at ICC for eight years completing the undergraduate and hermeneutical Master’s prior to submitting his PhD in September 2010.

His recent work on the use of the Torah in Ezra-Nehemiah provides an example of what he is most passionate about: Re-evaluating an aspect of the Old Testament and demonstrating the profound impact it should have on readers today. To this end his key interest is in utilising his passion for an Old Testament that echoes through the ages to speak to us on issues that we seem to struggle with today.

Iain is married to Mairi and they have a son, Isaac. The Hepburn’s attend Gilcomston South Church of Scotland in Aberdeen, though preaching and teaching engagements often find them elsewhere.
