Program Objectives

The program is structured to enable students to apply contemporary methods of research to theological questions so as to arrive at valid personal knowledge.

Thesis Option: the program is centred on the preparation of a substantial thesis. It will be most useful to students who already have a rich background in Theological Studies, and who already have developed an area of special interest in Theology, perhaps with a view to eventual doctoral studies.

Non-Thesis Option: is intended to provide students with an opportunity to widen their knowledge of theological areas (i.e. Scripture, History, Systematic Theology, Ethics), while at the same time learning the discipline of research in two shorter research projects.
