Advanced Diploma of Theology

Advanced Diploma of Theology

The Advanced Diploma of Theology is perfect for all Christians living for Christ in everyday life. It offers you the opportunity to deepen your love of God and his word as you engage in his world. The Advanced Diploma of Theology has a focus on Biblical and Systematic Theology.

Rationale

  • Introduces students to the sources and content of the Christian story and message, and provides training which emphasises application and articulation of this story and message in the contemporary world at a higher level than the Diploma of Theology.
  • The course in Theology will concentrate on the disciplines by which knowledge of God is developed and articulated in two main fields:
    • Bible & Languages (LA, OT, NT, BB)
    • Christian Thought & History (TH, CH, PE)
  • The course provides a grounding for ministry by establishing a foundation in theological knowledge and reflection.
  • Through elective units students can:
    • Follow study tracks in Bible & Languages and in Christian Thought & History
    • Develop practical ministry skills (EM, PC, DM)
