This course introduces students to a number of different approaches to reading the Bible as one big story. By engaging with the best contemporary thinking on biblical interpretation, students will be equipped to critically reflect upon their own lives and ministry practice in light of their place within God’s Story.
Along the way, students will explore the backstory to the Bible, learning about how it came to be, in order to gain a greater appreciation for the Christian tradition of seeking God’s voice through reading and applying scripture.

This course is rated “M” for maturity, because it’s all about growing up in God. Followers of Jesus are called to ‘grow up into his full stature’ – but what does that mean? How does it happen?
This course will take us deeper into relationship with God, where we learn of him, about ourselves, and so about living as mature people of God. We’ll practise some of the ancient and new disciplines that God’s Spirit uses to mature us. And we’ll let God loose in our lives again to shape us as his children. Get growing!
