Exposition of Old Testament Wisdom Literature (OT518 or OT518A, 2 credits or 3 credits)
7 – 12 December 2015 (9.00 am to 5.00, Monday to Friday)
“What we need today is not a greater number of intelligent people but wise people.” (These words are adapted from spiritual writer, Richard Foster). Who is the wise person? How do we develop wisdom? This course seeks to understand wisdom in both its ancient setting and canonical context. It offers an introduction to Old Testament wisdom literature which covers Job, parts of the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. These books are applicable to our context in Asia today.

New Testament Epistles and Revelation (Day course)
NT511 New Testament Epistles and Revelation (3 credits)
Thursdays: 9.00 am – 11.45 am, 5 January to 20 May 2016
People sometimes have an idealized view of the first-century church—that it was consistently faithful to the Lord and relatively free of problems. However, careful study of the Epistles shatters this misconception—we see that the early Christians have much in common with us. In this course we will gain a better understanding of the Epistles and Revelation in their original settings and get insight into how to apply this literature to our lives today.
