Rev Michael Bennett is an Architect, converted to faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 24 mainly through reading the Scriptures. After graduation, Michael trained at Moore Theological College, a highly respected evangelical training institute in Sydney, Australia. During 20 years of pastoral work in Australian Anglican churches he developed the Christianity Explained course, which has gained wide acceptance and effective use both within Australia and overseas.

From 1985 Michael worked with the Scripture Union organization, further developing and promoting the course.

Michael is married to Marion and they have two children Simeon (born '73), a missionary journalist, and Rachel (born '80). Michael loves to teach the Bible, and for recreation plays a poor game of golf.
