Strands
Strand groups are the engine room of NTE.
What are Strands?
We see Strand Groups as a 3 to 5 year program. In each strand there is a general movement from the Bible to the world, but there is also a movement across the strands, with each having a particular focus for that year.
Strands are available in English and may be available in simple English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Indonesian and other languages depending on demand.
STRAND GROUPS
Strand 1 focuses on the task of exegesis, the text of Colossians 1:15–23 and the significance of Jesus.
Strand 2 focuses on biblical theology, 1 Samuel 8 and how it fits within the Old Testament and the whole Bible, illuminating the person and work of Jesus.
Strand 3 focuses on systematic theology, examining the doctrine of the resurrection and its implications.
Strand 4 focuses on biblical ethics, with application in the area of ‘work’.
Strand 5 focuses on pastoral theology and how to teach a series on the book of Titus.
Strand 101 introduces God, for students who are investigating Christianity.
Strand 12 is for Year 12 Graduates – high school students about to start uni the following year – and focuses on understanding the gospel from Romans 3 and teaches them how to give a personal testimony.
