In this unit we’ll be learning about the story of Christianity from New Testament times until the Reformation era, particularly focusing on the Western tradition of the church. We’ll discover the people, movements and ideas that made an impact – for better or worse.
From the doctrine of the Trinity to Luther’s Ninety Five Theses, via people like St Francis of Assisi and events like the Crusades, we’ll see how people have followed Jesus in the past and reflect on how we can emulate their successes and learn from their failures.

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.

Narrative plays a crucial role in shaping us and our identity as Christians. Yet the narratives of the Hebrew Bible/ Old Testament are too often neglected in Christian theology and ministry, or relegated to Sunday School.
In OT010/011 we will explore the narratives of the Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings), paying particular attention to the books of Samuel. We will exegete substantial portions of 1 and 2 Samuel (either the English text of 1 Samuel 1–12 and 2 Samuel 5–7, 13–18; or the [translation and] exegesis of the Hebrew text of 1 Samuel 10–12 and 2 Samuel 5–7).
As we explore Israel’s transition from tribal confederacy to monarchy we will gain a deeper understanding of the role of Samuel and Saul and David—and God—in Israel’s evolving life and faith. And as we do so we will come to see the theological richness of these texts, and have our life and faith shaped by them afresh.

Missional theology ‘does what it says on the can’.
Systematic theology considers theological ideas in abstract, e.g. ‘What does the Bible say about atonement?’ But missional theology considers theological ideas in practice, eg ‘How can we better explain what Jesus did on the cross to this particular group of people?’
We also spend time learning from Christians in other cultures about how they see God. Plus, each week we hear from people doing mission right now, and what they have been learning.
