1. From the Dean’s Office

Welcome to the Faculty of Theology!Prof Elna Mouton

Dear Staff and Students

Welcome to the Faculty of Theology in 2007! As one of the ten faculties of the University of Stellenbosch, we have a unique opportunity to make a difference on campus this year. Let us simply begin by making the Faculty an appreciative and safe space for the human dignity and points of view of everyone.

This Information Booklet has been prepared with care to introduce you to the Theological family, and to help you find your feet amidst the many activities taking place at the Faculty this year. Please read it carefully and use it as a compass to continually orientate yourself.

A special welcome to each and every student! Particularly to the large first year’s group. Being a student is a wonderful time in one’s life. Feel free to not only receive, but to contribute in your unique way to the creation of knowledge that will generate new energy and hope.

Welcome to every member of staff (lecturers and researchers, administrative-, library- and support staff), our church partners, parents and spouses, as well as everyone who shares in the many challenges for theological training and faith formation today. My prayer is that God’s healing presence will be experienced everywhere – in the classes and cafeteria, in our library and offices, at the Faculty centres and units, in the garden and chapel, in each other’s eyes and smiles, in the quality of our service…

In 2009, Theology will have been presented in Stellenbosch for 150 years. Jesus Christ is the “lens” through which we want to remember – both back and forward. We therefore wish to journey together in a spirit of thankfulness, humility and ultimate dependence on God for the future.

May our Faculty be available for God’s Spirit to surprise and refresh us, and to make us an overflowing blessing for this environment, the continent of Africa, and further afield!

Ndiyanamkela nonke ngovuyo kulo nyaka umtsha. Khanikhulule iibhatyi zenu nizive ukuba nisekhaya kulo mzi lakwaLizwi. Ndiyaniqwenelela ubukho obumangalisayo bukaThixo kunye neentsikelelo zakhe kuyo yonke imizamo yenu.

2. Welcome from the TSC chair person

Welcome to the Faculty of Theology!Nelius Niewenhuys

Welkom aan almal wat hierdie jaar betrokke is by die Kweek. Alhoewel ons almal hier met ons eie unieke geskiedenis aangestap kom, begin ons nou 'n nuwe jaar van saamloop, saamlag en saamhuil. Watter wonderlike voorreg het elkeen van ons nie om deel te wees van 'n uitdaging wat diep aan ons elkeen se siele sal raak. Kom ons laat toe dat elke oomblik, elke persoon, elke stukkie leeswerk ons help vorm na 'n mens wat meer volwasse, simpatiek en meer deelnemend is.

Vir elke nuwe gesig by die Kweek wil ek spesiaal welkom sê. Sterkte met die volgende paar jaar se akademiese en persoonlike ontwikkeling in jou lewe. Gee van jou self, binne en buite die klas, en neem van ander wat hulle jou skenk. Wees dankbaar dat jy hier is en bly realisties oor die lewe buite teologie. Ons is nie 'n onbereikbare eiland vol selfversekerde geloofskennis nie. Ons almal ontdek die lewe in 'n genadige afhanklikheid van God, saam met mede-gelowiges, binne en buite die Kweek.

The Faculty holds a rich diversity of cultures, interpretation traditions and personalities. Let us, as children of the One God, accept and challenge each other to think from the perspective of the other person and to keep everyone we experience dear to our heart. May God grant us the eagerness to seek unity, the courage to listen and the patience to act wisely. Trust others with your presence and opinion and never deem your feelings as either unworthy or absolutely unmovable.

Ek wil elkeen van julle uitnooi om dinamies deel te raak van dit wat die Kweek bied en volhartig jouself te sien as deel van ons familie. Geniet jou tyd op Stellenbosch.

Nelius NiewenhuysTheological Student Committee

5. Faculty activities

5.1 Dean’s OfficeThe Dean’s office is primarily concerned with the planning and promotion of academic excellence, liaising with the US-board, Church Liaison committees and students, as well as the management of the Faculty.

5.2 Faculty Board and Faculty CommitteeThe Faculty Board is the body that co-ordinates and controls all activities of the Faculty. It is the highest decision-making body in the Faculty. All groups involved in the Faculty [students, lecturers, churches, associated institutions and faculties] are represented on the Faculty Board. The Board functions in synchronisation with the different faculty committees and the Faculty Executive Committee. The meetings are scheduled as follows: Firstly, the different committees convene [in time to hand in their written reports to the Faculty Secretary for consideration by the Executive Committee]. Thereafter the Executive Committee convenes to consider the different reports and to make their recommendations to the Faculty Board. Finally, the Faculty Board convenes to make decisions on such recommendations.

The timeous submission of committee reports to the Faculty Secretary is therefore very important. It is the responsibility of the chairpersons of the different committees to submit the written reports. Reports should consist of two parts

i] Recommendations and Matters of Notification [published in the same form in the Board Agenda];

ii] Full reports, i.e. argumentations, motivations etc. [published as addenda in the Board Agenda].

Prof Vernon Robbins Emory University, Atlanta

Focus The focus of Old and New Testament is on the solid, responsible and accountable interpretation of the Bible. Theological exegesis of the Bible is accountable to the rest of the academic scholarly community and to the communities of faith [in Africa and abroad] where the interpretation of Scripture takes place. Therefore the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible need to be interpreted taking cognisance of the world of the Biblical authors [then] and readers [now]. In continuity with the Biblical text itself, the interpretation is aimed at liberation and healing of the church and the community.

Prof Flip Theron, Stellenbosch

Prof John de Gruchy, Cape Town Prof Eddie Brown, Bettie’s BayProf Pieter Coertzen, Stellenbosch Prof JC AdonisProf Douglas Bax, Cape Town

Focus Ecclesiology is the theological-scientific study of the history and the order of the church. Special focus and study is given to the African and South African context and to the Reformed tradition.

Systematic Theology studies Christian Faith as well as Christian Ethics. In Christian faith the content of the Christian tradition - often summarised in confessions and doctrines concerning God [including God's revelation and knowledge of God, God's creation, God's providential care, God's image, humankind], Jesus Christ [including his person, life and work of salvation] and the Holy Spirit [including the life-giving work of the Spirit, the church, the sacraments, the ends of creation] - is studied in the light of contemporary questions, claims and experiences.

In Ethics the foundation of Christian morality is researched. It is often summarised in questions about what morality is and how it can be founded, what constitutes a moral society, how moral people behave, what moral actions are in view of specific ethical questions, and whether Christians should follow a particular form of morality.

Focus In the discipline group, Practical Theology and Missiology, we try to understand how the Word and acts of God take shape in the words and deeds of man in the world. We try to understand what it means to be sent out by God to the world where we live and work. How do we cross the boundaries of culture, race, class, gender, place and age to reach those in need? Theology is words and the witnesses about God. When we see and hear God, He guides us to the needs of our neighbours. What are these needs? What causes these needs? How do we deal with them? How do we equip leaders and members, congregations, to become involved in God’s mission [Jn. 3:16]

21





to the world? These are the questions that we ask; on these issues we do our research, and for this task we train people.

In the light of these questions, Practical Theology deals with the issues of church ministry, the life of faith communities in different contexts, and the transformative actions within society [development].

The homiletical process of the church service embedded in liturgical rituals, forms the meeting point between God and humankind. Also, we focus on: spirituality development, pastoral care, diaconal outreach, missional involvement, inculturation, as well as contemporary youth questions.

7.1 Curatoria: Curatorium DR Church

At the end of October 2006, the reunification process within the Dutch Reformed family of churches came on track again. These initiatives opened the way for the two curatoria of the DRC and URC to take a principal resolution in November 2006 to work together as far as possible. The curatoria and the faculty are truly thankful to God for these developments as the students of the two churches have been training together for some time now.

8.10 General arrangements re assignments, tests and exams

Lecturers will indicate timeously which assignments have to be done, when these should be handed in and what format they need to be in.

Each assignment has to have the required signed declaration that it is the student’s own work.

All assignments should be handed in on time. The Faculty Board accepted the arrangement that assignments that are handed in late, will be penalized with 5% per day.

Plagiarism, the use of someone else’s work, without proper acknowledgement thereof, is a serious offence. The faculty has a “zero tolerance” policy in respect thereof. It is the responsibility of the student to know the Faculty and the University’s full policy on plagiarism- ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse.

If a student cannot write a test for some reason, he/she should contact the lecturer in advance to make alternative arrangements. In the case of illness, a medical certificate should be presented.

All regulations of the University regarding examinations also apply to the Faculty of Theology.

It is the responsibility of students to confirm test, exam schedules and venues.

8.11 Bible knowledge exam [for all DRC students]

All DRC students should please take note of the following:

The Bible knowledge exam for all year groups will take place on Wednesday 25 July 2007 at 19:00 in the Faculty building.

The following is prescribed for examination: Jeremiah – Malachi. More information can be obtained from Rev Sahd.

8.12 Practical training

Different practical training components form part of the BTh, MDiv and LicTheol programmes. See the descriptions of these programmes elsewhere in this study guide.

8.13 Theology Library

Who are members?All registered students and staff of the Faculty are automatically members of the library, as well as of the main library, the JS Gericke Library, and all the other branches.

40

Theology Library collectionThe library collection includes a wide range of information on Christian Theology in the fields of Old and New Testament, Systematic Theology, Ecclesiology, Practical Theology and Missiology. The computer catalogue of the US Library Service [also accessible from outside the campus network] must be used to find material in the library. The catalogues of the other members of the Western Cape Library Consortium, CALICO, of which we are a member, can be reached at CALICO (http://www.calico.ac.za/calico/index.asp).

Access to electronic databases, journals and books is possible through the web page of the US Library Service. ATLA/ATLAS is the most important database for theology, because it indexes only theology journals, as well as essays in books.

Material that is not available in the Library Service can be obtained from other libraries via the national and international interloan service. Information on this service is available at the counter.

ServicesThe Theological Library provides its clients with a variety of services. Complete information is available on the US Library Service website www.sun.ac.za/library. Click on “Information about Library Services” and on “Libraries and collections” and follow the links to the Theology Library.

Photocopying and computer printoutsStudent/staff cards should be loaded at the Student Fees Counter in Admin A for laserprinting in the Theology [or any other] library. At the beginning of the year, student cards are automatically credited with a certain amount for photocopying.

The photocopy machines in Mr Mark Koopman’s room may not be used by students.

8.15 E-learning

E-learning is any teaching or study that takes place by means of electronic media, such as WebCT, PowerPoint, Video, Audio, etc.

The aim of e-learning is twofold: Firstly, new media is implemented in order to enrich the teaching and learning environment of the faculty. It is thus an aid to lecturers to improve their teaching, as well as to students to improve their learning. Secondly, e-learning facilitates better communication between students and lecturers, as well as among students. E-learning can therefore assist in building a faculty where theology is discussed at various levels. E-mail, discussion forums and other creative electronic means can be utilized towards this aim.

The main e-learning instrument in the faculty is WebCT. WebCT, or Web Course Tools, provides the electronic space within which material can be made available to students, and within which discussions on the work can be facilitated. E-learning also stretches wider: any contribution by lecturers or students to the modules in electronic format can enrich the particular course. Students are therefore encouraged to bring along to the class any materials that they encounter on the internet, video, CD or DVD in order to contribute to our collection of electronic tools that might enrich our courses. E-learning creates, to a small extent, a research association within the faculty within which all can learn to discover.

Although e-learning is still in its infant stages, it is already the experience of students and lecturers alike that this tool enriches our teaching and learning process tremendously. Theology, the reading of texts, and the discussion of theology are enhanced. Course materials and notes are also more accessible, because these materials can be distributed electronically via WebCT [e.g. in PowerPoint format]. In some modules all electronic material is provided at the end of the semester to students on CD-Rom. All material can then be accessed in the process of preparing for tests and exams.

8.16 HUMARGA computer room

The Faculty of Theology has its own computer room, situated at the library. This computer room is a satellite of HUMARGA in the Arts building, and it is for the use of theology students [although other students are also allowed to make use of the facilities]. The computer area has 28 Dell Pentium IV computers with full network connectivity. There are also ten tables with network connections where students may work with their laptops.

The HUMARGA@Theology is available 24 hours per day. Technical assistance is, however, only available from 08:00-17:00 every week day.

The following rules apply

There should be silence at all times. This is a room for studying and working. The computers should be treated respectfully, and EVERYBODY is responsible for the

security of the room. Please notify Johann Theron immediately of any strange behaviour or situation [and please stop anybody who is stealing a computer!!].

No food or beverages are allowed in the room. No smoking is allowed in the room. A FIRE ALARM will go off. Trespassers will receive

heavy fines.

42

Every user must make sure that the room, as well as the toilet facilities, are kept tidy at all times. Please pick up your own papers, and tidy the bathroom after you have used it [“when Christ calls you, he calls you to pick up your papers”].

Any trespassing could lead to suspension from the computer room. A security camera is recording all activities in the room. “Big [friendly] brother is watching you …”

8.17 Cafeteria

The cafeteria on ground level in the faculty, sells coffee, other refreshments and light meals. See the menu and price list in the Cafeteria. There are also tables [with umbrellas for shade in the summer] available in the enclosed square just outside the cafeteria. Please keep this area tidy at all times.

8.18 Available bursaries

Application forms for undergraduate bursaries are distributed when new students arrive in February. Students, especially those from disadvantaged communities, are also strongly encouraged to apply to the University for financial assistance.

Bursaries/Loans of the DRC CuratoriumThe DRC Curatorium has the following bursaries:Study loans The DRC Curatorium has a bursary fund for theological students who

want to go into ministry. Awards from this fund are made on a loan basis, but when the student has finished his/her studies, and he/she is ordained in a congregation, half of the loan is written off as a bursary. During the study period no interest is calculated. However, after the end of the study period interest is added.

Travel bursaries Awarded to students that live further than 500km from Stellenbosch, at a rate of R1.50 per km to a maximum of R2 500.

Merit bursaries Awarded to students with an average year mark of higher than 70%. Bursaries are also awarded to students who achieve a good mark in the annual Bible knowledge exam.

Emergency fund This fund is used to give financial assistance to very needy students in case of crisis situations.

Postgraduate students

Awards are made to postgraduate students:

(a) One-off awards are made to candidate ministers who want to further their studies directly after they have been admitted to ministry.

(b) One-off awards at the conclusion of postgraduate study [R1 500 for MTh and R2 000 for DTh].

Bursaries/Loans of the URC CuratoriumThe URC also has a bursary fund for students and enquiries can be mad edirectly to them.

Incentive/Progress bursaries of the Faculty of TheologyThe Faculty has made bursaries available for students who show extraordinary growth and progress with regard to academic achievement, personal dedication and general commitment.

8.19 Spiritual development

43

Development of students in this respect presupposes that there is a direct link between knowing God and worshipping God. The one presupposes the other one. The Faculty therefore wants to give expression to worship in many forms.

For this reason, we do not only talk and write about God, but we also get the opportunity to jointly [as students and lecturers] focus on God. Please refer to the class timetable for chapel sessions.

Furthermore, each student is placed with a minister of a congregation from his/her particular church at the beginning of the year. These ministers act as spiritual mentors and are available for conversations. Support groups will be organized among the students in each class where the need should arise.

11.6 MTh programme

Masters studies can be done in any theological discipline. Apart from the more general Masters degrees in Theology, there are also a number of more applied MTh programmes [e.g. in Clinical Pastoral Care, Youth ministry, etc.]. Two variations are possible within the Masters programmes, namely a structured study [where mainly written/oral exams are done on prescribed literature], or research [where a mini-thesis forms the major part of the study]. Normally, it is also a requirement that students should do exams in one or two subsidiary subjects.

For further information, please contact the particular department, or consult the Yearbook.

11.7 DTh programme

Doctoral study can be done in any theological discipline. The study is concluded by means of a dissertation that is written under the guidance of a promoter. For further information, please contact the particular discipline group, or consult the Yearbook.

50

11.8 BPhil / MPhil / DPhil in Bible interpretation

Students who are interested in participating in this exchange programme should contact the Faculty for more information about the procedures which apply in this regard. The following modules are offered in the Department of Religion and Theology at a postgraduate level according to the Calendar of the Faculty of Arts at UWC [although not all are offered in a given calendar year].

Modules offered in 2007The Department of Religion and Theology is not able to offer all the modules on our rather extensive list in each year. Those of you who intend to continue your studies next year may be able to take modules not on offer this year during 2008. Please enquire about this. Where no details are provided on a particular module, it is not offered in 2007. The fourth column indicates the semester during which the module will be offered in 2007.
