69 Master of Theology (Theology) Program Goal The master of theology (ThM) with a concentration in theology blends foundations of biblical, theological, and practical ministry and gives students opportunities to broaden and deepen their understanding of Christian theology. This degree provides students with opportunities to focus on such topics as thinking theologically about issues and trends in the contemporary church, studying the articulation, interpretations, and practices related to expressing one's faith through creeds and confessions, and examining the key doctrines and systems of the Christian faith, including Trinitarian theology, its proponents, models, and application for church ministry. Emphasis will be placed on student research and writing, so this degree is excellent preparation for doctoral studies or for those desiring to write for publication. Curriculum Course # Sem. Hrs.
