神学硕士

M.Div。该学位设计为全日制三年制72学分的专业课程。尽管专心致力于事工并不是录取的先决条件，但它的目的是为人为事工的实践做准备。基督教事工的职责是解释和代表基督教信仰，并探索将信仰体现在人民，教会和社会生活中的方式。该计划的目的是开始一个教育过程，重点是了解基督教信仰及其对人类生活的影响。教师认为，课程中的所有课程都应为实现这一目标做出贡献：研究背景，起源和传统，反思信仰问题以及当代形势下的道德，教会和社会问题，并考虑事工的场合例如崇拜，讲道，咨询，管理，教育和社会改革。所有这些研究和活动都相互预设，
The M.Div. degree is designed to be a three-year, 72 credit professional program when taken full-time. It is designed to prepare persons for the practice of ministry, although a definite commitment to the ministry is not prerequisite to admission.<br><br>The vocation of Christian ministry is to interpret and represent Christian faith and to explore ways by which that faith can be embodied in the lives of people, the churches, and society. The aim of the program is to begin a process of education focusing on understanding the Christian faith and its implications for human life.<br><br>The faculty believes that all courses in the curriculum should contribute to this aim: the study of backgrounds, origins, and traditions, reflection on problems of faith and on moral, ecclesiastical, and social issues in the contemporary situation, and consideration of occasions of ministry, such as worship, preaching, counseling, administration, education, and social reform. All of these studies and activities presuppose each other and relate to each other in essential ways. The minister is a theologian, and as such draws on the full range of critical studies and reflection in his or her varied activities.
