COURSE DESCRIPTIONS: CERTIFICATE AND DIPLOMA
TEDTH 110: Christian Understanding of God
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the Christian understanding of God. It will look at the understanding of God as Trinity, and examine how this concept was understood in the early Church, by the reformers, and more recently. In particular, it will look at how these concepts have been enculturated into Melanesia.

BISHOP PATTESON THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE
Theological Education in Distance
Bishop Patteson Theological Education by Distance is a new programme that is offered for the first time this year, 2015. This programme is run-off campus for people who for various reasons find it difficult to enroll at BPTC and STMs but would like to undertake studies in theology. The student pays for tuition fees and course materials at his or her expenses. Students enrolled in this programme may eventually graduate with Certificate of Theological Studies when specified requirements are completed. The courses will be offered as Certificate and Diploma courses. Published in Bishop Patteson Theological College Tuesday, 07 April 2015 18:01 JCPU NEWS UPDATESEducation Bill 2014 At last the Solomon Islands Government is upfront with the Education Bill 2014 to go to the Parliament later in the year (2015). Nine years ago in preparation for Bishop Patteson Theological College (BPTC) to offer the first degree courses in the country through theological education, the Principal then, the Rev. Philemon Akao went to see those at the Ministry of Education for the Solomon Islands Government to recognize the tertiary status of the college. The response from the Ministry of Education then wasn’t favourable as there was no tertiary education Act within the education system to facilitate the course of tertiary education. However, BPTC based on legal mechanisms established within the Ministry of Education was recognized to offer the degree courses.
