ST303: Theology of Humanity & Christ 

Monday 7pm- 9pm

​

The Bible makes statements about humanity and the Lord Jesus which appear contradictory. For example, we humans are ‘made in the image and likeness of God’, yet are ‘dead in trespasses and sins.’ Jesus is the man who was born in Bethlehem and died on the Cross, yet he is also the second Person of the Trinity, co-equal with the Father. This course examines all these subjects and helps us to develop a coherent understanding of mankind and Jesus.

BT644: The Old Testament Writings (Psalms)

Thursday 7pm- 9pm

​

This paper will introduce a section of the Old Testament that is known for its diverse grouping of books as well as its rich application of biblical theology. Indeed, from before the time of the Babylonian exile, the Writings have helped God’s people to worship rightly, live wisely, and hope steadfastly. As such, these books will not only lead us on an exciting exploration of different literary genres but will also offer us a semester-long opportunity to be saturated in worshipful wisdom and Christ-centred theology.
