Old Testament Hebrew 3 ANL301
Building upon two previous units of OT Hebrew, this unit bridges the gap between your foundational basics of OT Hebrew grammar and an advanced understanding of OT Hebrew syntax. As such, this is the unit where all your previous hard work pays off, as reading and translating becomes more effortless and rewarding.
New Testament Greek 3 ANL351
Continuing from the two previous units of NT Greek study, this unit builds on your foundational understanding of Greek grammar and focuses on a more advanced understanding of Greek syntax. In this unit, there is a significant emphasis on equipping you to read, translate and exegete the NT in order to draw out the wonder of its original message.
Isaiah BIB312
Isaiah was a prophet consumed with the vision of God as the sovereign Lord over the nations. The Book of Isaiah speaks to a crucial time in the history of ancient Israel both prior to the exile as well as re-building after the devastation. It about how to live faithfully as the people of God in a hostile environment and presents a vision of a holy people.
Wisdom and Worship BIB314

The books of Proverbs and Psalms are two of the most well-known and loved texts within the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. In addition to Proverbs, the books of Job and Ecclesiastes comprise what is known as Wisdom Literature, a genre of writings from the ancient Near East comprised of sayings and teachings by sages and the wise about the breadth of the human experience. Psalms is an anthology of Hebrew hymns to be used either in collective liturgical settings or for personal expression. Throughout this course, we will engage with tools of exegesis to reflect on how to read the Wisdom and Psalms text, as well as the Song of Songs, which is neither part of Psalms or Wisdom Literature, yet is Hebrew poetry and considers wisdom in relationships.

The Community in Exile BIB315
Jesus and the Gospels BIB340
This unit enables students to evaluate the identity and mission of Jesus through diverse scholarly perspectives, set against a detailed socio-historical backdrop. By analysing primary and secondary texts and applying Jesus' teachings to contemporary contexts like Pentecostalism, students develop a nuanced understanding of these foundational narratives and their relevance in modern religious discourse.
Acts of the Apostles BIB341
A deep dive into the Acts of the Apostles provides essential insights into the spread of the early church. In this unit, students examine the socio-historical settings, interpret key passages, and identify how these ancient narratives resonate within modern Pentecostalism. The unit offers practical skills in textual analysis and application, preparing students to understand and discuss complex theological concepts within both historical and contemporary frameworks.
Old Testament Field Study BIB349
Do you want the places of the Bible to come alive? Then join us for this Field Study Trip subject to Israel and its surrounding lands. We will walk through biblically significant places and link the geography of the land to the message of biblical stories. Your reading of the Bible will never be the same again!
Romans and Galatians BIB352
Have you ever wondered why Christians don’t follow the full Mosaic law? Have you ever asked what sets Christianity apart from Judaism? Paul’s letters to the Romans and Galatians answer these questions and more, and in many ways these letters reveal the heart of his theology. This unit will also synthesise Paul’s thoughts into a storyline of history that informs his pastoral and theological reflections.
I & II Corinthians BIB353
The Corinthian Correspondence is a fascinating exchange between the Apostle Paul and the troubled church in Corinth and is a worthwhile study for those who are interested in Paul’s role as pastor and apostle. This unit addresses a variety of ethical and theological issues, such as sexual sin, drunkenness, Christians taking each other to court, dissatisfaction with style of leadership and much more.
New Testament Field Study BIB359
This subject provides students with a first-hand introduction to the relevant cultural, geographical, historical, and archaeological issues for the New Testament. Students will engage with this historical context during an on-site field study program in the location of modern-day Turkey and Greece, formative for study of the biblical text.
