M.A. Global Theology

The globalization of the Christian faith has resulted in many new voices contributing to theological discussion. Many of the perspectives that these new, global voices share are forged in cultural and social milieus very different from the Western worldview, which was, to some extent, the outcome of Christian theology in the first place.

The Master of Arts (Global Theology) is designed to enable a reflective and critical evaluation of the context in which contemporary theological thought is generated. Examining the writings of contemporary Christian scholars within their own context sheds new light on modern Christian theology. Central to this three-year degree is four continental learning experiences supported by annual on-campus sessions.

Upon completing the MA(GT), the student should be able to:

Apply Biblical principles to contemporary ministry contexts;

Evaluate and respond to cultural phenomena in light of Scriptural values;

Evaluate and respond to historical events and their aftermath in light of Scriptural values;

Formulate relevant ministry strategies for the globalized world;

Model Biblical principles appropriately in a cross-cultural context;

Develop personal habits of lifelong learning.

The cohort basis of the program is specifically designed to accommodate those in full-time ministry. This provides the benefit of face-to-face interaction with the professor and classmates while making it possible to continue to minister or work full time.

The MA (Global Theology) is a 48 credit program, and you can complete it in as little as three years.
