Master of Arts with a Major in Christian Studies The master of arts with a major in Christian studies degree at Denver Seminary is now being offered fully online. With this degree, students receive solid biblical and theological training with the greatest number of open elective hours of any major offered. That flexibility allows students to sample a wide array of subjects—Old and New Testament studies, church history, systematic theology, philosophy of religion, as well as leadership and evangelism courses—or focus on one or two fields of study. FREE ONLINE COURSES OFFERED In spring 2016, Denver Seminary launched a FREE online course taught by President Mark Young. The Seminary is also developing a second class taught by Dr. Craig Blomberg, distinguished professor of New Testament. The new class, "Unlocking the Parables of Jesus," begins by discussing the parable of the Prodigal Son, and then looks at several approaches that have been used to unpack and understand the parables. Dr. Blomberg also walks through over a dozen different parables, exploring their interpretation and application to our daily lives. If you missed President Young's class, "What's that Book About? Understanding the Big Story of the Bible," or want to participate in our second class, visit denverseminary.edu/freeonlinecourse. 4
