Introduction
Japan Lutheran Theological Seminary
Evangelists who convey the gospel of human liberation, pastor who brings healing of the soul
Although the economy and science and technology have developed wonderfully, it is a world that can not be realized that each and every human being became happy. Rather, the sum of people weakened, the number of people who suffered from the heart has increased, and the purpose of life is difficult to see. Love is cold, hope is getting uncertain. Even religion is an era that can be seen with stinging eyes. That is why I want to look deeply at human beings, in front of the absolute god, in the light, to listen to God's word to regain true humanity. Prayers and storytellers are necessary so that love and compassion, righteousness and peace will be added to this world, so that we can release ourselves from the crime of eroding human beings and restore the joyful freshness to the soul. The seminary will train pastors for that purpose.
Standing firm on the tradition of religious reform
Founded in 1909 (Meiji 42) in order to train evangelists and pastors of the Lutheran church which draws on the religious reformer Martin Luther (Luther) faith and the flow of theology. The slogan of religious reform "only faith, only grace, only the Bible" is the motto of the seminary. Learn the Bible in the original language Hebrew, Greek deeply, stand on a solid evangelical theology, and aim to cultivate a solid and useful practical ability at the church site.
Various God Students

Both men and women, both single and married, people with various backgrounds and conditions are studying at a four-year seminary.

A seminary with a long tradition of 100 years founded next year. It is an educational institution that receives training for finishing to become a pastor / evangelist as a professional in parallel for the first two years with a four-year college ( ใซใผใใซๅญฆ้ขๅคงๅญฆ ยท department of theology), and further over two years.

Div. (Master of ยท Divinity, Master of Theology) You can proceed to doctoral course regarded as equal to completion.
