This unit studies Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. It focuses especially on Paul's perception of the problems arising in the life of the young church in Corinth, and his responses to them. It examines the way Paul's theology adapts itself to new situations and new contexts. The specific context of the church in Corinth is explored, and different scholarly opinions canvassed. The relationship to other Pauline writings is investigated, along with the question of their ongoing relevance for the context of the church today.
Fees: University of Divinity standard course fee, or an audit-only fee of $500

The book of Jeremiah is a complex, pain-filled, and difficult book to read. Beginning with an understanding of the socio-political context which gave rise to the book, this unit will introduce students to trauma as effective lens through which to interpret prophetic literature. The impact of trauma on communal groups will be emphasised, and themes such as divine violence, forced deportation, diaspora and return, communal identity formation and communal memory will be explored.

Economics has replaced theology as the master language of Western culture, and is a particularly powerful influence on Australian culture. This unit considers the complex historical, theological and scientific issues involved in the relationship between economics and theology. It is especially concerned with the interaction between issues for individuals and organisations that the contemporary faith鈥搘ork movement has taken up, and the system issues that economists study. As such, this unit will engage with with the intellectual issues as they occur at the nexus of the various practical problems and dilemmas of Christian discipleship in a culture that is shaped by economics.
