| Description: | The program is ideal for those whose sense of vocation includes teaching and scholarship, for those planning to go on to doctoral studies, and for those interested in acquiring advanced training and knowledge in a specialized area to enhance church-based ministries or to enrich a teaching role. The program requires 30 semester hours to complete and requires strong research skills and a commitment to academic excellence. This degree program culminates in a written thesis that demonstrates competency in academic research and writing. A range of specializations that build upon previous biblical, theological and historical studies are available. The program generally takes between 1-2 years to complete.
Each area of specialization can accommodate a wide range of particular research interests due to the diversity of expertise among the faculty at GSTS / ACTS Seminaries and the broader Trinity Western University campus. This faculty includes specialists in Christian scriptures, Septuagint studies, Second Temple Judaism, early Christian origins and Graeco-Roman culture, patristic studies, contemporary theology, social ethics, cross-cultural studies, evangelical Protestantism, Christianity in Canada, and contemporary apologetics. |
