BT605: Introduction to Biblical Theology

Day TBC- 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. ​​

What does the Bible teach about such things? Equally, some either deny that Jesus was truly human or truly God. How do we respond to these ideas biblically?
