This is the first of two foundational New Testament units. It provides an overview of the four gospels and the portraits that they paint of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—with a focus on how Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom of God in word and deed. It also offers an introduction to the context in which the gospels were written and in which the events they describe took place, and the core message of the gospels for Christian readers today.

Dates: 20 November 2023 - 9 February 2024

This unit provides an overview of Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians. The letter addresses a divided and dysfunctional local congregation, largely due to their adoption of the world’s value system. Paul exhorts them, instead, to live out an alternative community ethic grounded in Jesus’ death and resurrection. This message is as timely today as it was 2000 years ago. 

Please Note: This unit is only for students who are studying a Diploma and do not plan to continue to a Degree or Associate Degree. Students in other courses should consider NT010 (Paul & Corinthian Christianity).

This unit aims to equip students with skills and knowledge that will help them partner with God and others in the care of people. Integral to this unit is developing awareness of common and significant pastoral issues and growing in confidence to respond to the needs and life circumstances of people in a wide range of contexts. Students taking this unit will normally have completed a foundation level unit in Pastoral Care.

At the heart of this unit is our understanding that God calls us to partner with Him; inviting people to experience the love, grace, power and purpose found in Jesus Christ.
