​BT605: Introduction to Biblical Theology

Monday 7.30-9.30pm (Online)

​

Introduction to Biblical Theology gives the big picture of how the whole Bible, in all its diverse parts and genres, fits together as a unified whole. We look at how Christ—his life, death, and resurrection— is the centre of God's eternal plan. Understanding the big picture helps us know how to receive God’s word in the Old Testament as Christian believers, and it allows us to locate ourselves in the story of what God is doing from beginning to end.

ST301: Survey of Confessional Belief

Tuesday 7pm (Auckland & Online)

​

Are confessions relevant to the church of the Twenty-First century? This course seeks to show how creeds and confessions still serve the church by clarifying our faith.  The course surveys the background and theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647) and compares it to the Belgic Confession (1561) and the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion (1563), which were written earlier.   We will look at how these confessions have shaped the teaching and actions of the church. Along the way, we will attempt to answer the question of relevance.

ST302: Theology of Revelation and God

Thursday 7pm (Auckland & Online)​

Who is God and how can we really know him? In this class we look to answer the question of how a person can know God with any certainty (revelation). This will include a study of the Bible as inspired revelation. The course then moves on to consider who God really is. Is it possible to know anything meaningful about an infinite and eternal spiritual Being? This study also takes in the doctrine of the Trinity as confessed by the church.
