IntroductionThis is a foundational course designed to present the Bible as the Word of God and ultimate guide of Christian behaviour in all areas of life. It is like no other book ever written on planet earth. The very first segment of what now constitutes the Word of God was actually dictated by God - Exodus 20:1–21. The Holy Bible, which is the final form in which the Word of God is preserved, is the final authority for personal life and ministry. It is the basis of sound doctrine for instructing the saints and should offer the final word that settles every dispute or theological argument. In 2 Timothy 2:15 a very true minister of the gospel is enjoined to study the word in order to gain divine approval and the capacity to serve sound doctrine rather than subjective perspectives to people. To claim the status of a minister of the gospel and yet manifest a disdain for diligent study and application of scripture is simply anathema.
