OVERVIEW

The Faculty of Theology of the North-West University is home to two schools:

SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND LEADERSHIP

The School of Christian Ministry and Leadership practises the science of
Theology on Reformational foundation. This implies recognition that the Word of
God, the Bible, originated through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and that
the Bible is therefore inspired and authoritative. This is the basis on which
all paradigms (including our own) are subjected to constant critical and
reformative study, while accommodating staff members and students of other
theological persuasions who respect this Reformational foundation and inclusive
approach.(Read more)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCHOOL OF ANCIENT LANGUAGE AND TEXT STUDIES

The School of Ancient Language and Text Studies falls under the Faculty of
Theology and is chiefly concerned with research relating to the Ancient World,
its languages, and its material culture. The School houses leading authorities
in Ancient Cultural Studies, Cognitive linguistics, Translation Studies,
Classical Latin, Ancient Greek, and the languages of the Ancient Near East,
specifically the Aramaic and the Hebrew of the Tenach, but also Arabic, Acadian,
Syriac, Ugaritic, and Old-Aramaic. (Read more)

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

NWU’S SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND LEADERSHIP PARTNERS WITH LOCAL CHURCHES

As part of its community engagement and stakeholder relations, the School of
Christian Ministry and Leadership at the North-West University’s (NWU’s)
Vanderbijlpark Campus recently [May 2022] partnered with church leaders in the
Vaal area to create a forum to recover and strengthen ethical and moral
leadership within the church and community. According to Prof Vhumani Magezi,
who is the coordinator for community engagement and stakeholder relations within
the Faculty of Theology, local church leaders reached out to the university
asking for a partnership and support to facilitate this initiative.  For the

FEMALE INMATES RECEIVED LETTERS OF ATTENDANCE

The Faculty of Theology has once again experienced a special year with regard to
its community engagement programs and projects. On the 20th of November, the
female inmates at the Potchefstroom Correctional Services received recognition
for attending and completing one of the courses presented by Prof. Fazel
Ebrihiam Freeks. This day was a very special occasion for the female inmates
when they received their letters of attendance with great gratitude. On this
occasion, one of the officers of Correctional Services (Klerksdorp region)
expressed his gratitude for the positive partnership between Correctional
Services and the NWU. Mr. Sipho Mahlangu, Head of the Correctional Services
mentioned the positive relations between the Faculty of Theology and
Correctional Services. In particular, he emphasized the community projects of
the Faculty that contribute immensely to the Correctional Services’ WHITE PAPER
which pertains to the rehabilitation of prisoners. Prof. Freeks was also
assisted and supported by some of his Pastoral students, namely Brighton
Mojapelo, Lianca Liebenberg and Dineo Seleke.

 

PAST 222 EXCURSION 2019 - HOUSE HEBRON

On Thursday the 10th of October 2019, Professor Fazel Ebrihiam Freeks organized
the PAST 222 group's second excursion for the year at Hebron. The PAST 222 group
is seventeen (17) in total and their theme on this occasion was: Have you ever
tasted Jesus? with the sub-themes of repentance; hope; a new path to follow, and
a focused life. This excursion was once again an unforgettable event and
experience for the students. The Hebron people also enjoyed the discussions and
motivation of the students immensely and worked well together. These Pastoral
Counseling students have developed a great love for community engagement and
-involvement. They mention that it is worthwhile helping, supporting and walking
the extra mile with people, because that is the Will of God.

 

PAST 222 EXCURSION 2019 – POTCHEFSTROOM REMAND DETENTION FACILITY



On Tuesday, 13 August 2019, Prof Fazel Ebrihiam Freeks once again undertook an
excursion to the Potchefstroom Remand Detention Facility to the Potchefstroom
Remand Detention Facility with his Pastoral Counseling students. The female
inmates were very excited and appreciated   the students' participation and the
interest they took in them. Some of the themes treated during this year's
excursion were: the importance of time; resilience; forgiveness; a relationship
with God and the value and worth of a human being. The students regarded the
event as a valuable opportunity to work with the inmates and to gain experience.
The excursion was not only about motivating, inspiring and encouraging inmates,
but it was also a very emotional experience for both inmates and students.
