ThM: Master Of Theology |
|
| Overview: | ThM:
A
course with greater depth and breadth than the previous courses. It is
meant for those who take up senior positions in Apologetics,
Creationism,
Communication, Theology, Counseling, and Polemics-related organizations.
Also, those completing this course are adequately equipped to teach Christian Apologetics, Theology, Counseling, etc. in Seminary level courses. Students completing this course are able to work independently in these fields as researchers, writers, and trainers. |
| Qualification: | BD or MDiv
from any Bible school. People having no theological qualification can
apply
if they have a master's degree in any secular subject. People with a
Bachelor's
degree in secular subjects should take the MDiv route to our ThM
programs.
Some students with no background in theology can be allowed to join ThM
directly, depending on the secular courses studied by them.
People having a BTh can enroll directly for ThM. by undertaking to do additional coursework to cover for their deficiency. Some credit transfer would be allowed to students joining ThM after our MDiv course. Each student would have to write a thesis and defend a given subject in Apologetics, Polemics, or Hermeneutics, in addition to fulfilling the other course requirements. |
