ABOUT THE LECTURER
Rev. Song Cheng Hock studied theology and counselling in both Singapore and Australia. He has recently published two devotional books, “Choices and Change” and “Created Experiences” under the series, “An Intentional Journey.” He has also contributed a chapter titled “A New Way Forward” to the book “Yet I Will Rejoice” (Warner Press). He is an associate pastor with the Amazing Grace Presbyterian Church.
 
SYNOPSIS
 
Preaching is the art of communicating the Word of God from the heart (to another heart). But art does not mean unrestrained, impromptu and extemporaneous “sharing” of the Word. The Scriptures were written to a specific setting which is separated from our world by a massive chasm of language, culture, time, history, practices, values etc. It is only logical that the preacher must first engage in a disciplined and unmitigated study of the Word before he can make it clear to his listeners.
 
COURSE REGISTRATION & ASSIGNMENT POLICIES
 
Please note that with effect for courses commencing from Jan 2012 (AY2011 Term 3) onwards:
  1. A student will only be registered for the course after he has submitted both his course registration form and course fees.
  2. The 1- and 3- month deadline for Full Time and Part Time Students respectively will still apply.  After the first deadline, students will be granted a further 3 months deadline extension automatically.  The specific overdue assignment, however, will incur a penalty of a 1/3 grade deduction.  For example, an overdue essay submitted by the end of the 6th month, will be downgraded from B+ to B.  At the end of this deadline extension, no further extensions will be allowed.  The status of the incomplete course will be converted from Credit to Audit.  This conversion will not affect the student’s GPA.
