OT510 Old Testament Narratives (3 credits)
Tuesdays, 1.45 pm-5.00 pm

The study of Genesis to Esther highlights that the God of the Old Testament is the same God we worship today. It has been said that “The New Testament is concealed in the Old, and the Old Testament is revealed in the New.” Many themes we find in the New Testament have their roots in the history of Israel. This study will help the student appreciate the unfolding drama of God’s redemptive plan for man. Each book advances God’s plan to raise up a chosen people and a holy nation.

IS523 Honour, Shame, Guilt & Sin (3 credits)
Tuesdays, 1.45 pm-5.00 pm

This course is designed to help students understand the complexities of human cultural and psychological realities related to honour, shame, guilt, and sin. The goal is to integrate cultural and psychological understandings with biblical and theological principles and use these understandings to communicate the gospel in a manner that is intelligible and meaningful to people of specific cultures. The course covers literature on honour and shame, shame and guilt, and sin from multiple theoretical perspectives and offers an overview of the ways in which honour, shame, and guilt, as a psycho-social-cultural construct, affect human functioning.
