In this module, we will build on the Early Church module that explores the questions the church was facing leading up to the Creed of Chalcedon in 341 AD. We will explore questions around the nature of God, human beings as created beings, the Trinity, Jesus the God-man, the nature of revelation, the person of the Holy Spirit and how what we believe affects our discipleship, worship, and mission today.
This module explores generic definitions of leadership whilst looking in particular at the ‘servant leadership’ model. Students are encouraged to reflect upon their own experiences of leadership, and to think about what the adoption of a servant leadership approach might look like within their own contexts. We also explore some of the key challenges that leaders face and how we might seek to resolve these from a servant leadership perspective.
In this module, we will explore the work of God among the people of faith since the time of the New Testament. We’ll see how Christians have struggled, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, to live out their faith in different cultural, political, and religious settings. In particular, you’ll get a map of the major Christian traditions so you can better understand the diversity we encounter among churches and denominations today.
