MA in Religion program is designed for those who desire to strengthen the Christian basis for one’s life and work, whether in a secular career or a church staff position, without seeking ordination as ordained ministers. The goal is to help the student to integrate and apply the biblical worldview in a particular field of calling, either in arts and sciences or a particular area of ministry.
Having successfully completed the MAR degree program, students will have demonstrated:
- a personal and spiritual formation that is foundational to Christian life and non-ordained ministry in broader contexts (e.g., the shaping of Christian identity, growth in personal faith, theological thinking, Christian lifestyle, a vocational conviction for ministry, and moral integrity);
- An ability to read and interpret the Bible (Old and New Testaments) in its contexts and with the Reformed biblical hermeneutical principles and relate the Biblical truths to personal and public spheres of life and ministry;
- An ability to articulate the Christian doctrines and traditions and address contemporary societal, cultural, and theological issues with biblical, Reformed theological perspectives;
- Intercultural competency to understand and engage with the people embracing other religious traditions and worldviews to communicate to them the Christian gospel effectively;
- An ability to integrate a Christian worldview into ministerial endeavors in their vocation and other life and ministry settings with a commitment to the Lordship of Christ.
