We Motivate You!
People study theology for various reasons, and not only to make it their profession. Some find it a fascinating field about which they would like to know more, whereas others search for spiritual enrichment through studies, or may want to equip themselves to function more effectively in the workplace. The Faculty also offers programmes that will benefit students who do not necessarily want to become ministers but would like to enrich their lives and be developed.

The Old Testament Literature
The Old Testament is concerned with God’s relationship with Israel and His involvement with humanity and creation. In Old Testament Studies, we study the books of the Old Testament and the life settings of ancient Israel. From the Old Testament, we learn that ancient Israelites engaged with issues such as suffering and love, and how to live in the presence of God in different circumstances.
Practical Theology
Practical Theology focuses on what Christians do; in other words, how they experience and express their faith (faith
actions). The topics studied in this field include devotion as lived religion and preaching, the meaning of symbols and symbolic acts, helping people in crisis, teaching faith and faith formation,
and understanding the world in which we live.
