Muhammad: A Christian Perspective
Dr Bernie Power & Dr Denis Savelyev
30th November – 5th February
Study Mode: Online only
In this unit we will study the life of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, from a Christian perspective.
We will look at the social, political and religious background of seventh century Arabia, and discuss the question of whether he actually existed. Then we follow the standard Muslim chronology of his life, looking particularly at his revelations, his military and political activities, his personal life and his relationships with women. Muslim perspectives are included through an extensive use of video clips.
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to outline the significant events in the life of Muhammad, to understand the challenges and opportunities that he faced and how he dealt with them, to assess his personality and character from a biblical perspective, and to compare and contrast his life with that of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Global Theology and World Christianity
Dr David Ng
30th November – 5th February
Study Mode: Online only
With the massive growth of Christianity in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Christians are bringing new questions to theology that have seldom been asked in Western theology.
These questions are rooted in significant challenges that Christians face globally and cause us to rethink how we theologize in a changing world. As we reflect on Australia’s relationship with this global context and observe the movement of people and the establishment of migrant churches here, it is increasingly important that we engage in such global theological reflection.
In this unit, we not only raise these different global theological issues under the standard categories (God, Humanity, Christology, Ecclesiology etc.) but also reflect, assess and apply them in light of God’s mission today.
