BT605: Introduction to Biblical Theology
Monday 7pm (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. ​​

ST304: Theology of the Holy Spirit & Salvation

A study of what the whole Bible has to say on the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and how he applies the atoning work of Christ. In this class students will undertake a detailed study of the Holy Spirit and also about the doctrine of salvation. For example, we will seek to understand key doctrines like justification and sanctification.​

ST302: Theology of Revelation and God
Thursday 7pm (Online)​
In this course, you’ll explore the many ways God makes Himself known:
• Through creation and conscience
• Through Scripture and the living Word
• Through the Spirit’s work in the life of Christ’s church
And you’ll wrestle with the vital question: What should we do with this revelation? This is not just an academic study—it’s an invitation to stand in awe of the God who speaks, and to learn how His self-revelation transforms our worship, our witness, and our daily walk with Him.
