The MDiv - Revised and Refreshed for 21St Century Ministry
The refreshed Master of Divinity combines world-class scholarship and practical relevance, all for the purpose of preparing you to answer God’s call on your life. The recent revision strengthened the offerings in the classical disciples (biblical languages, biblical studies, theology, and church history) without compromising the focus on practical application (preaching, Christian ministry, mission, church leadership). If God is calling you to ministry, the MDiv offers the best preparation available.
