All of those for whom the M.A.R. is a terminal degree receive thorough grounding in the Scriptures, in Reformed theology, in Church History, and in Apologetics. All graduates of the program, therefore, possess tools with which to bring the Lordship of Christ to bear directly upon that part of God's world in which they are called to serve. This forms one of the purposes of the program. Another purpose of the M.A.R. is as a stepping stone for further academic work. The Greek, Hebrew, English Bible Survey, and the English Writing Skills courses may not be included in these 24 credit hours.
Courses are to be selected from the three categories below.
Core Courses - Total of 23 credit hours plus Elements of Hebrew and Greek. All students must take the same core courses. New Testament Introduction 3 hrs. 123 Hermeneutics 4 hrs. The Modern Age 4 hrs.
