At the centre of the biblical worldview is a vision
of the future. The snapshots of the "prophetic dream" that the scriptures
give us in both Old and New Testament include a banquet for all nations;
all the peoples of the earth gathering to enquire of the Lord how they
should live their lives in the light of his law; weapons being destroyed,
peace, reconciliation; the healing of nations; long life and the removal
of infant mortality; security of ownership of houses and gardens; the
peoples of the earth bringing the treasures of their culture as gifts to
God; the worship of God being expressed in every language under the sun;
nature expressing its joy at its liberation from bondage to decay; the
restoration of all that has been broken by sin.
Different expressions of that dream are reflected in
courses and degrees offered within the College/Faculty. Linguistics
courses prepare men and women to extend the boundaries of knowledge of the
languages of the hidden peoples. Foundations for Intercultural Studies
prepares people to live as the community of God's reconciled people in
multicultural cities and wherever globalisation has extended. The School
of Reconciliation goes a step further to prepare workers to be agents of
reconciliation bringing healing to the nations. Government and
International Studies courses and degrees look at the place of God's ways
and law in today's world. Humanities and Science: A Christian Perspective,
a course taken by all students seeking a bachelor's degree, looks to "the
things that are true, the honorable, the just, the sacred, lovely and of
good report" in nations around the world, anticipating the day when these
things will be offered to God.
