Course Structure
The MA (Theology) consists of eight units of study. Six units must be course work units. The remaining two units may be two further course work units, a xcourse work unit and a project or two projects.
Projects comprise a piece of research of 8,000–10,000 words, under the direction of a Faculty adviser appointed by the College.
As in-service training for those in full-time ministry, the units offered in the course are from the three mutually dependent areas of:
Biblical Studies (e.g. New Testament, Old Testament, Biblical Theology);
Christian Thought (e.g. Systematic Theology, Historical Theology, Church History, Ethics, Philosophy); and
Christian Ministry (e.g. Mission, Apologetics, Christian Worship).
All work undertaken in the program is expected to be based on a solid foundation of exegetical skills. Accordingly, all candidates must select at least one unit dealing with a book of the Bible in the original language.
