Ministry and Mission focuses on missiology, evangelism, preaching, education, and the practical application of Christian faith and discipleship. Biblical Theology embraces Old and New Testament studies, hermeneutics, and the use of biblical resources for theological and missiological reflection. International and North American applicants must have completed an M.Div. degree or the equivalent, have three years of practical experience in ministry, and have the ability to relate theological study to the social, cultural, and historical contexts of their ministries. The remaining twelve hours of course work are taken in the candidate's chosen focus area in consultation with his or her advisor and the Th.M. director. These courses are chosen from among the upper level courses in the M.Div. or M.R.E. curriculum.
