Through these subjects, students will gain an important overview of both the Old Testament (39 books, Genesis to Malachi) and the New Testament (27 books, Matthew to Revelation), in order to grasp the central message of each book. They will also investigate the literary form, the structure, and the historical and geographical backgrounds of each book. The aim is to strengthen the students’ understanding of the biblical text and its application to life and ministry in our time.

This area of study is concerned with the application of what Scripture teaches, especially in the personal areas of our lives: sanctification and spiritual growth. Practical issues are addressed in this course, such as our roles as men and women in the church, in the family, and in society. Other topics include personal witness in the world, discipleship, prayer, dealing with one’s own sin, and cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. 

The student is expected to gain insight into the various areas of Practical Theology by studying what the Scripture teaches on each of the respective topics. The class is taught separately by gender, as some of the topics are gender specific. 

The dates for each location can be found in our calendar.

Bible Survey will only be available in Berlin, for now.
