“A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.” Theodore Roosevelt

OVERVIEW 

Students develop their understanding that God is trustworthy and His promises are for all who trust and follow Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. They continue to learn about Bible history from creation to God’s ultimate purpose for humanity. Students are introduced to key biblical concepts and themes, allowing them to explore the Christian faith and see how it is relevant today. They discover and explore who Jesus is, focusing on different events in His life which show God’s power at work. Students are also encouraged to discover for themselves what the Bible says about the contemporary problems people face in today’s world. The aim of this subject is to encourage students to foster a love for the Word and to develop a personal relationship with God. Through their study of the Bible, students develop Christian values and attitudes on stewardship, justice and godly interaction with their world.
