The Licentiate of Exegesis and Apologetics is a part of the Axx Bible and Theology stream. This stream is a systematic approach to understanding the Bible and Theology.

From AUD$95/mo – Flexible Choice (Month-to-month)We believe Christianity is true because we have good evidence that it is true.
False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel. We may preach with all the fervour of a reformer and yet succeed only in winning a straggler here and there, if we permit the whole collective thought of the nation to be controlled by ideas which prevent Christianity from being regarded as anything more than a harmless delusion.
J. GRESHAM MACHEN
18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
