Biblical Studies

• This module enables students to acquire
  strategies for reading the Bible. The module has
  three main sections understanding the historical
  setting of the Bible, gaining an appreciation for
  reading and interpreting the different biblical
  genres, and developing an awareness of specific
  canonical themes.

9
Personal and Spiritual Development

• This module is designed to support students in
  their personal and spiritual development. It
  aims to explore the overall theme of discipleship
  with an emphasis on the Christians identity, to
  start to develop reflective practitioners who
  take an active responsibility for their own
  learning and to introduce principles of teamwork
  and leadership.

10
Ministry - Theory and Practice

• The module will introduce students to some of the
  biblical and theoretical principles that underpin
  key areas of Christian Ministry. Students will
  explore models for Christian Ministry and reflect
  on their strengths and weaknesses in real,
  practical contexts. Critical and analytical
  reflection will be a key feature of the study of
  these areas with a continual emphasis on relating
  theory to practice and their own ministry within
  their placement.

11
Placement

• Students will be placed within a local church or
  organisation. This will be an opportunity to
  work out in practice some of the theoretical
  material taught in other modules. The emphasis
  will be on working within a team, developing
  practical experience and on becoming a reflective
  practitioner. The placement is an opportunity to
  apply theory in real contexts and to critically
  analyse a range of experiences, issues and events
  in relation to material taught in other modules.
