There are many and varied expressions of Church in Ireland today. This module will re-examine the biblical images and metaphors for Church and then think about the essential functions of the Church which are being expressed in different forms around us.

This course explores what the Bible says about the new covenant ministry of the Holy Spirit. There is special focus on two writers – Luke and Paul. We examine the Spirit in Acts and the Spirit in the letters of Paul. Taking a step back we also look at the 'big picture' of the Spirit's role within God's redemptive purposes for individuals and the church.
