Modules
We offer one module each semester from a portfolio that addresses the relationships between biblical and theological concerns, contermporary literature, and issues of national and international public policy. Some modules are thematic whilst others focus more explicitly on the biblical text.
Each module contributes to the overall aims of the programme which are to:
- relate the Christian tradition in creative and productive ways to various aspects of the contemporary world,
- gain an understanding of how 'culture' both shapes and has been shaped by the situation within it of Christian religious belief, practice and theology,
- acquire a critical awareness of some current issues of dispute in the field,
- evaluate positions represented in advanced scholarly literature and
- proffer judgments on the issues concerned.
The University reserves the right to replace or withdraw modules as necessary.
