Counselling
This unit deals with human sexuality, marriage and family life. Human sexuality sets us apart from the animals. It is exactly in the domain of sexuality that the dignity of humanity is the most clearly expressed. Our sexuality calls us beyond ourselves to a whole and intimate relationship with another human being. And it is to an 'other' who is both similar and different from ourselves that we are called. The unit also deals with a wide variety of aspects that influences our relationships in marriage. For example, communication – how to disagree and negotiate with each other without undermining the relationship. We also look at children within the context of the family and how we are all intrinsically shaped by our families and family relationships. Marriage and family issues present an ideal opportunity for us to show how the gospel can affect our lives for the good. Our marriages and family relationships can become showcases of the grace of God.It does not mean that we have to present ourselves as 'getting it right' in our marriages and families. But we can meet the world as people who have tasted something very good and thus cannot settle for anything less. The hope that we can offer people in the light of our understanding of God's vision for our marriages and families can change their lives forever.

How do we apply the Bible today? What does this passage really mean? How should I approach the Bible? These are common questions for anyone who reads God’s Word. This unit not only helps to answer these questions but also a foundation for all biblical study. It equips students to analyse and interpret the Bible responsibly and creatively by bridging the gap between the world of the Bible and our modern world. In this unit we look at different approaches to Scripture, the background of scripture, how we as interpreters are involved in the process of constructing meaning, and how we can effectively apply the message of an ancient book to our world and lives today. This unit lies at the heart of all Biblical and systematic theological studies. As such it thus integrates with all New Testament, Old Testament and systematic theological subjects.

Theology
Introduction to Theology provides the student with the big picture of God's involvement with mankind and the world and an opportunity to consider carefully the foundation of their personal faith. We consider important questions such as: What is truth and how can we understand and know God? Who is God and how are we designed in his image? What is the effect of sin on God's design for creation? Who was Jesus and how does his life and work affect us today? Who is the Holy Spirit and how is he involved with us now? What is the charter of the church in the world today and what is our unique role within it? How will this world end and what lies beyond? This subject takes a person's Biblical knowledge which is often compartmentalised and places it in a broad theological framework. This allows students to think more clearly and wider on all sorts of issues that present in ministry and everyday life. The subject doesn't only detail and describe the foundations of the Christian faith but places the major theological themes of the Bible into the living drama of a gracious covenantal God. This provides the student with a clearer perspective of God's involvement with them in everyday life.

Pastoral counselling does not occur in a vacuum. It occurs in a particular context – a church, a school, a para-church organization or in more specialized agencies. It also exists within particular community and cultural contexts. People’s challenges and struggles also occur within particular contexts. This unit will help the student to develop the understanding and skills needed for pastoral counselling and care in his/her personal ministry in its particular community, cultural and practice context.
