Option A: Hermeneutics (Bible Interpretation)

  • This course would be of immense value, not only to those who are preparing to teach or preach God’s Word but, indeed, to all believers who want to get more out of their Bibles. It is designed to give you the necessary skills to correctly apply the principles of interpretation to any part of Scripture, both in your own reading of the text and also in preparation for any ministry.  Held fortnightly throughout the College year.  More info here.

Option B: Homiletics (Expository Preaching)

  • This course, again held fortnightly throughout the College year, is designed to equip you to take any passage of Scripture and prepare and deliver a Bible study or sermon, unpacking and applying that passage.  To do this course, students are ordinarily expected to have previously completed the Hermeneutics module. More info here.

Please note: the two Tuesday evening classes will run on alternative weeks.
