Content

The choice of the topic or theme to be studied is left to approved institutions but must have staff and library support sufficient to sustain the unit.  The course coordinator is responsible for submitting for approval a proposed unit outline along with assessment plans to the moderator for New Testament.

The unit is taught, conducted as a seminar involving class discussion as well as lectures and individual reading.  The unit is not an individual research topic.  It is strongly recommended that the unit include set reading of approximately 15 chapters of Greek or 25 chapters of English New Testament texts.

  • Candidates must demonstrate a thorough grasp of the New Testament issues involved
  • Assessment should be designed to encourage exploration of the personal and pastoral implications of New Testament perspectives discerned in candidates’ learning
  • Units approved for the Master of Arts (Theology) may be used as the basis for this unit, adjusted appropriately to reflect major level undergraduate study for candidates enrolled in the undergraduate degrees

This unit's indicative bibliography is currently being revised. Students should contact their home college for further details at the time of taking this unit.
