CM1D01 Engaging With Islam

The unit contributes to the DipBT course by demonstrating how the biblical and theological core elements might be harnessed in engaging with people from an Islamic background with the gospel of the Lord Jesus. It focuses on providing the historical, theological and cultural background necessary to understand and engage with people from an Islamic background. The purpose of this unit is to move beyond theory and abstraction, and to give students a guided experience of engaging in personal, evangelistic ministry.

BS2D04 The Pentateuch

The unit introduces the student to the Pentateuch (Genesis to Deuteronomy), as individual books and as a coherent collection. It helps the student to read the Pentateuch aware of its historical, literary and theological nature, and to understand both its meaning for original readers, and its significance as Christian Scripture. Students will develop their competence as careful readers of the text and be able to show how these ancient texts uniquely reveal and adorn the character of God.
