Biblical Studies is concerned with the Word of God as the inspired and normative foundation of Christian faith. As sacred scripture the Bible contains the story of divine revelation in human history. | ||||||||||||||
There are two testaments in the Bible, Old and New, both inspired, and both of enduring value. The Second Vatican Council (following Augustine) emphasised the relationship between the two testaments: The New is hidden in the Old, and the Old is made manifest in the New (Dei Verbum, n. 16). Biblical Studies at CTC involves foundational units in the two testaments, and more advanced studies of specific books and particular literary forms, eg. prophetic literature. A wide range of scripture units is offered for study towards awards or for personal development and spiritual enrichment.
As a key foundation of theology, the Biblical Studies program at CTC enables students to become better equipped at understanding and appreciating the Bible in every area of theological study. Study Tour of the Biblical Lands Enquiries: adean@ctc.edu.au |
