The unit contributes to the DBT course by deepening the student’s understanding of the work of Christ at the cross for salvation. It focuses on providing the students with the resources to articulate the penal and substitutionary nature of Christ’s atoning work according to the teaching of Scripture.
The purpose of this unit is to give students confidence in articulating the Biblical testimony to Christ’s gracious sacrifice for sin and to equip them to answer various contemporary critical attitudes towards the theological significance of Christ’s saving work.

The unit introduces the student to the Twelve Prophets of the Old Testament (Hosea to Malachi), as individual books and as a coherent collection. It helps the student to read the Old Testament prophets aware of their historical, literary and theological nature, and to understand both their meaning for original readers, and their 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.
