This is a study of the OT dealing with its content, message, form and background. The survey will introduce the student to the biblical-theological approach to Scripture, showing how the books of the OT point us to God’s Covenant of Grace in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

This course is an introduction to the NT writings and their message in the historical, cultural and religious context of the first century. The aim of the course is to give the student an accurate understanding of the primary backgrounds of the NT writings and other related introductory questions that impact on their message. The course comprises lectures, assigned readings, a written assignment and examination.

The purpose of this course is not to make a person a Hebrew scholar. Rather, the intent is to give just enough basics of the Hebrew language to enable the student of the Bible to use the many word study tools written by the Hebrew scholars.

These will be chosen by agreement between the seminary and the needs of the students. Two courses in OT and two in NT will be required. These will be taught with two objectives in mind. First will be the plan to cover this course in a way that will enable to student to immediately be able to teach the course to others, complete with application. The second objective is to demonstrate to the students how to use the Greek and Hebrew taught in the Greek and Hebrew for Bible Study courses. Students will be taught how to develop sermons and teaching lessons from the text. Systematic Theology/doctrine will also be covered in a way that will help the student to know how doctrine is developed out of the text.

The Doctrine of Scripture forms the first part of a twopart course. Major topics to be covered are: the divisions of Scripture, its revelation, inspiration and illumination; understanding Jesus’ view of the Bible as well as its view of itself, canonicity, alleged “errors” in the Bible; and modern translations. The infallibility and inerrancy of all Scripture will be greatly emphasized. The seminary endeavors to teach something regarding all the major positions with respect to the Bible. The seminary’s position is summed up by the description “biblical inerrancy”. Our objective is to teach from the viewpoint of orthodox Protestantism concerning the Word of God, demonstrating its divine origin, internal harmony and its controlling role in the faith, life and vocation of Christians.
The second part, hermeneutics, is intended to teach the student to interpret and apply the Bible accurately in our modern context. It will provide a basic model incorporating the main principles of interpretation to enable the student to rightly divide the Word of Truth.

This course will enable the student to come away with an understanding of the “time line” upon which God used individuals and events to bring about His desired ends from the end of the first century to the beginning of the 21st century.

This course seeks to explore the nature, character and triunity of the God who has revealed Himself historically in redemption through His inspired Word, and in the enlightening which comes through the Holy Spirit. It comprises the centerpiece of our theological efforts as it has the Triune God Himself, and therefore the impartation of a profound knowledge of Him, as its focus. God as Maker and Upholder is set alongside a study of the humanity; both of our original and fallen 17 nature, dependence, and destiny. As with all doctrinal courses, the topic is explored along biblical, historical and systematic lines.

The topic of the Person of Christ is a careful study of the relevant biblical material found in both Testaments, and a survey of the doctrine throughout the period of church history. The study on the Work of Christ is drawn from both Testaments and reaches its climax in Paul's epistles and Hebrews. The study encompasses a treatment of all the important views of the work of Christ, and will be compared with other differing viewpoints advanced over the last 2000 years.

Most courses that are designed to teach teachers to teach usually teach methods of communication (delivery). This is not adequate because the methods used may not reach the learning styles of most of your listeners. In this course we will concentrate first on helping you learn how you learn. Then you will study the characteristics of the other major learning styles. It will be only after this is understood that we can turn to putting together teaching methods that will enable you to reach all the learners you are charged with teaching.

This course is intended to give the student a foundational understanding of the doctrine of the Person of the Holy Spirit and his work in the Church from a historical, Biblical and theological perspective.

An understanding of how the Holy Spirit works in your life should change the way you view how to live a godly life, being dependent on the Holy Spirit
