Course Summary

Flexi-MA students within the UK are asked to select a Hub which can be used to access library resources should they wish. Students who are not within easy travelling distance of an existing Hub will need to ensure that they can access a decent academic theological library, or have the personal resources to purchase books that will be required for research at this level. In addition, all students have access to an extensive online database of journal articles and e-books.

Both tracks have access to faculty throughout the year via email as well as access to resources that lecturers post online via Moodle (WTC’s virtual learning environment for students).

The programme content options are the same for students on both the Hub-based and Flexi-MA tracks. Both tracks get the best of the live teaching with the rest of the MA learning community, twice yearly for 4-5 day Residentials in early September and January. For Hub-based MA students the non-Residential teaching is delivered on three Saturdays in their chosen Hub. For Flexi-MA students the balance of the teaching is accessed online at your convenience. You watch the teaching videos, liaise with your tutor via email or video conferencing, and write your assignments according to your schedule.

Modules

This module provides you with an opportunity to reflect on the significance of the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, with attention to key challenges and opportunities that the Old Testament presents for those in Christian ministry and mission. This course will provide opportunities to consider the costly loss of the Old Testament in modern church life. Students will explore the key ethical challenges to recovering the Old Testament in the modern world (gender, violence, ethnocentrism, historicity), and various ways that the Old Testament might be recovered for personal and Church enrichment.
