An introduction to the Old Testament as the story of God’s saving work, tracing the arc from creation and covenant to exile and hope, and reading it in light of Jesus Christ. You will survey major themes and moments—Torah, prophets, wisdom, temple, kingdom—situating texts in their historical contexts while attending to how the Old Testament prepares and witnesses to Christ. The course integrates academic rigor with accessible guidance to help you read, pray, and teach the Old Testament faithfully for the life of the Church.
An introduction to the New Testament that situates the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation within their Second Temple backgrounds, traces major themes across the canon, and articulates how biblical theology centers on the person and work of Jesus Christ. You will read representative passages closely, connect literary forms to theological claims, and learn how the New Testament’s witness shapes gospel proclamation, worship, and discipleship in the life of the Church.

A sustained study of Anglican theology from the Reformation to the present, tracing its foundations in Scripture, the ecumenical creeds, and the English formularies, and following its development across provinces and traditions.

The course emphasizes charitable, rigorous engagement and practical synthesis for ministry—clarifying how Anglican theology shapes worship, preaching, catechesis, and pastoral leadership today.

You will trace the mission of God from Israel to the Church, survey key moments in global mission history, and develop a theologically grounded vision for evangelism, cross‑cultural ministry, and partnership with the persecuted church. With accessible, hands‑on guidance, the course engages dialogue across faiths, unreached peoples, justice and mercy, spiritual warfare, and the vital role of the local parish in sending, supporting, and sustaining mission.
