CT1D02B The Written Word of God

The unit contributes to the DBT course by deepening the student’s understanding of the Bible as God’s powerful and personal address to his people. It focuses on providing the students with the resources to articulate the authoritative, inspired and unified nature of the Bible. The purpose of this unit is to give students confidence in the Bible as the primary source of knowledge of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and to equip them to answer various contemporary critical attitudes towards the Bible as the written word of God.

BS1D01B Biblical Theology

In this unit, you will look at how the Bible is structured and how it centres on and culminates with the revelation of the Lord Jesus. As such, we focus on the unfolding self-revelation of God in human history as revealed in the Bible. This unit will: help you grasp the overall content of the Bible; help you understand how to apply the whole Bible to different ethical issues; help you teach different parts of the Bible.

BS1D03B The Twelve Prophets

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.
