“The spiritual disciplines are those practices found in Scripture that promote spiritual growth among believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are habits of devotion, habits of experiential Christianity that have been practiced by God’s people since biblical times.” (Don Whitney)

Lecturer: Pastor David Childs

This course is an exegetical study of Paul’s Letter to the Romans. We will have an introduction to the letter, but the majority of the course meetings will be in the text of Romans itself. After we have covered the text, at the end of the course we will cover how to trace the argument of a letter, relevant not only for Romans but for other New Testament letters. If time permits, we will also discuss briefly some special topics relevant to the study of Romans.

“Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists in two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves......Accordingly, the knowledge of ourselves not only arouses us to seek God, but also, as it were, leads us by the hand to find him.”  (John Calvin)   This module will examine the biblical teaching on the doctrine of humanity, emphasising the constitutional nature of humankind and the image of God in humanity.

Becoming familiar with the whole Bible appears a rather daunting task, but this course is designed to help you make all the relevant connections and discover the big, redemptive, storyline.   It provides an overview of the whole Bible, looking at the dominant motif, the setting and environment out of which it came, and the contribution each book of the Bible makes to the whole. This provides the big picture backdrop against which and within which the individual component parts of the Bible will be studied for their specific theological emphases and transferable application.  In this first part of the course we will be focussing on the Old Testament.
