STCC@Candon City : Venue of Summer Block Course on Christian Doctrine


A 3-unit masteral credit at Aparri Bible Seminary shall be offerred from April 12 to 17, 2010 with Sto. Tomas Church of Christ at Candon City as the learning venue. This will be taught by a SUNBEAMer Dr. Samson B. Lubag of Oahu Christian Church, Honolulu, Hawaii.


In his promo-letter, Pastor Jun Segudo wrote, Aparri Bible Seminary has started its Master's degree program in a bid of reaching seminary alumni who need advanced degree, and are living in the STCC-Candon vicinity including preachers from Ilocos and Abra.

ABS agrees that Candon City is a strategic place and Sto. Tomas Church of Christ is willing to host and house the prospective students, but they must be responsible for their meals (P25/meal) or pay for rice equivalent. There is a non-refundable P50 registration fee, and the class is scheduled at 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. on April 12-17, 2010.

This program will accommodate twelve (12) students only, with no sit-ins, to ensure quality time for the students. The deadline for registration is April 9, 2010.

Interested students may please fill-up the form. Please contact Pastor Jun or Jainee Mangma- Castillo at (0918) 331-4642.

Meanwhile, its professor Dr. Lubag sent SUNBEAM its course syllabus as follows:

CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE, By Prof. Samson Lubag, 3 units, Apr. 12-17, 2010

I. Aims of the Course:

1. This course seeks to present the major concepts, institutions, and standards of Jesus and the early church as recorded in the New Testament, especially in the light of exegetical and other recent scholarships.

2. The emphasis is not primarily on what the mass of biblical theologians have written about these, (though we shall study some of them also), but on what the New Testament (and the Old Testament roots) says about these realities.

3. This is, therefore, an analytical and descriptive course, not an experimental, speculative, or dogmatic one.

II. Classroom Procedures of the Course:

1. Class lectures will be the prime method of approach to the content of the New Testament theology.

2. Question-and-answer, and discussion of both will be used frequently, on the part of both teacher and students.

III. Assignments for the Course:

1. Each student will submit one book critique taken from the pre-listed bibliography - 20%
2. Take home Examination at the end of a unit course - 20%
3. Daily Notes to submit on final examination day - 20%
4. Class Participation which includes introductory questions - 20%
