BT605: Intro 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: Holy Spirit & Salvation
Monday 7pm (Online)
Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does he do? Likewise, how does the Spirit of God work in a person to bring them to 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.​

In this course, you’ll explore the many ways God makes Himself known:
• Through creation and conscience

• Through the Spirit’s work in the life of Christ’s church
