Theology (Aspects of Christian Holiness) (Taught)

The Aspects of Christian Holiness pathway is specifically designed to probe deeply into the important topic of Christian holiness particularly (but not exclusively) as expressed in the Wesleyan tradition. The course work and dissertation encourage students to provide penetrating discussions on specific aspects of Christian holiness of their choosing.

These course units are structured around ten two-and-a-half hour seminars. The seminars are facilitated by specialists in the appropriate disciplines. In-depth reading, seminar presentations, group discussion and preparation of written assignments are all included within the course units.
