This module draws on the foundational sacred texts of Christianity, while simultaneously investigating the development of Christian concepts over the course of history. In this module, we compare and relate all of scripture to create a systematised view on what the whole Bible says about God, Covenant, and Creation.

The purpose of this module is therefore to provide first-year students in the Bachelor of Theology Degree programme with basic knowledge and understanding regarding:

 The Being and Existence of God.

 God as Holy Trinity.

 Name and Concept of the Covenant.

 Creation in general, creation of the material world and creation of the spiritual world.

Welcome to Module TLH 133: Spiritual Formation.

This module focus on Vocation (Calling) and Spiritual Formation. Since Old Testament times God called various people for various occasions, tasks, and services. Calling continued during the New Testament times and God is still calling today. This module equips the student to formulate his/her opinion on vocation based on the history and present-day vocational theology/theology of works. In terms of understanding personal calling and the God who calls, the student is taken unto a journey to and from Biblical times to the present day as it is important to understand the emergence and development of Christian Vocation and Spirituality.

Welcome to Module TLH 134: The Kingdom of God.

This module gives an overview of Kingdom Theology, God’s Mission (Missio Dei), Church Models, Koinonia and Children’s Ministry.

Welcome to Module TLH 135: The Cosmos, God and Humanity

Students either select the Psychology component or the Community Development component of this module as elective.

This module gives an overview of the relationship between cosmology, community theology and the human psyche. It addresses how the different fields of theology, psychology, community development and the sciences relate to each other. Throughout this module, exploration will be done on key issues recently and less recently explored in the different mentioned fields. The aim is to foster a basic understanding of key themes in theology, cosmology, community development, psychology and research.

Furthermore, in order to practice Christian counselling, professional counsellors must be able to articulate a Christian worldview and understand the way in which their worldview informs counselling theory and practice. This gives rise to the need to integrate Psychology and Theology or Community Development and Theology in this module in order to provide students with a theoretical overview and practical foundation for faith-based counselling.

The research section of this module aims to introduce the student to the academic requirements for scholarly writings required at Higher Education Institutional level.
