The modules over the two years are:
Old Testament Interpretation
with Dr Matt Lynch
This module offers a survey of critical issues and themes in Old Testament historical, prophetic and legal texts and some in-depth analysis of key primary texts. There is consideration of the ways in which these texts can nurture contemporary Christian practice and students' development as disciples, ministers and leaders in the Church and in the public sphere.
Systematic Theology
with Dr Lucy Peppiatt
This module takes students deeper into the engagement of belief and practice in the Church. It provides the opportunity for reflection on the importance of key doctrines of the Christian faith to Church life and practice, and gives students the opportunity for a short assessed presentation.
Paul in Contemporary Theological Perspective
with Dr Tony Cummins
This module undertakes an analysis of Paul’s theology, focusing on his message concerning God’s covenantal and creation-wide relationship with his people, humanity and the world.
Kingdom Ministry: Theology & Practice
with Dr Steve Holmes
This module explores the theology and practice of a variety of contemporary renewal movements, in the search for a theology of renewal and best practice for ministry in the power of the Spirit. Throughout there is consideration of the ways in which dialogue with other traditions could be mutually enriching.
MA Research Dissertation
The dissertation gives students the opportunity to explore their own theological interests. A topic is chosen in discussion with the module tutors and is based on guided, but largely independent, research.
