ST303: Theology of Humanity & Christ
Monday 9.30am- 11.30am- ONLINE ONLY
Monday 7pm- 9pm- On Campus and Online
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.
Geoff Macpherson
HT402: Reformation & Modern History

BT651: The Gospels (Mark)
Tuesday 7pm- 9pm
This paper provides an introduction to the Gospels as works of history, literature, and theology. We explore the nature of the gospel-genre, key themes in the gospels, and distinctive aspects of the four gospels. The course will have a special focus on Mark—building tools for reading, teaching, and applying gospel texts in the life of the Church.
Dr Ben Hudson
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.
Dr Michael Beck
OT151: Hebrew Language 1
Wednesday 7pm-9pm
