EAST Aleph 2015 Started
EAST Aleph for new students started last Friday and runs for two weeks before academic classes start. We are grateful for the bumper number of new students this year coupled with new faculty who has joined us for this new academic year.
Please pray for a most fruitful time for all during the EAST Aleph as new students: attend their Research Writing class, get oriented to their academic program and resource facilities, develop skills of evangelism, live out Spirit-filled walk, and begin relationships with fellow Mentoring Group members. Thanks!

NT510 New Testament Narratives (3 credits)
Tuesdays: 2.00 pm – 5.30 pm, 20 July – 20 November 2015
There’s only one Jesus Christ, so why are there four Gospels?

It will also explore what Jesus continued to do and teach through the early church as seen in the book of Acts. You will learn about the first-century context of Jesus and the early church as well as how the world-changing movement Jesus started continues to impact our lives today. Pre-requisite: BS510 Bible Study Methods and Hermeneutics. Students taking this course for audit (i.e. not for credit), will not be required to fulfil the pre-requisite.
