Aims
The programme in Biblical Theology is designed to stimulate reflection on the use of the Bible in theology by crossing the conventional disciplinary boundaries between biblical exegesis and systematic theology. Special attention will be given to the issues of canonical criticism, narrative reading, and the use of Scripture in the construction of theological arguments.
Assessment
The taught courses will be assessed by coursework, by written examination, or by a combination of these, as prescribed for each course. The dissertation course will be assessed by submission of the dissertation. An oral examination may be held at the discretion of the Examiners. The degree of MTh shall not be awarded to candidates who fail to complete the dissertation at an appropriate standard, irrespective of their performance in other courses; such candidates may, at the discretion of the Examiners, be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma.
Contents
There is a core curriculum consisting of the following three courses: New Testament Theology; The Study of the Hebrew Bible; The Use of the Bible in Theology.
Candidates are also required to take a fourth elective course selected from those available in the College (the course on Biblical Exegesis is strongly recommended), with the agreement of the Programme Co-ordinator, as well as postgraduate research training courses; and to write a dissertation on a topic related to the subject matter of the degree.
Each student is appointed a supervisor who will assist in planning the period of study in a way that is appropriate to the qualifications and interests of the student. Students are also encouraged to attend the training course for research students organised by the College of Arts and Social Sciences.
