Dilpoma of Biblical Studies Changed Regulations
From 1997 a pass in all 8 core subjects is required to complete the pass level course. Students who commenced the course prior to 1997 are still able to complete the course under the old regulations (i.e. by completing only 6 core subjects). The new developments should not cause too many problems for those studying under the old regulations:
-
If you still had to complete both (the old) NT2 and NT3, then you simply take both (the new) NT 2(Epistles) and Biblical Theology.
-
If you had to complete either (the old) NT2 or NT3, then you can choose to complete either Biblical Theology or NT2 (Epistles).
-
If you have already completed (the old) NT2 or NT3, then you will find that you have already covered some of the material in the new subjects-although even this is to your greater learning! A comparison of the new subject outlines with the outlines of the old NT2 and NT3 will show you the points of overlap, and so help you to make your choice.
It may be of additional assistance to you in your planning to know that, in the timetable, Biblical Theology has replaced (the old) NT2; and NT2 (Epistles) has replaced NT3.
