MASTER OF DIVINITY D e s i g n o f the Curriculum The M.Div. curriculum is designed to offer training for the pastoral ministry. Concentrated study in three basic areas – Bible, systematic theology, and practical theology – characterizes this three-year program. In addition to training for pastoral ministry, the curriculum is designed to aid in the student’s sanctification. Bible courses include the basic structure and content of each book of the Bible along with such details concerning major characters, dates, and places as are necessary. Principles of hermeneutics and exegesis, using the original languages as well as the English Bible, are also included. Students learn to apply Scripture to contemporary circumstances. Building upon and integrated with a biblical foundation, theology is a major area of concentration. The purpose of this study is to provide the theological and historical foundations, along with current cultural contexts, to understand and live the Christian faith. The practical theology courses are designed to enable students to develop competence in ministry including preaching, worship, leadership, and individual shepherding. A variety of experiences and instructors enable students to develop methods and styles of ministry suited to their individual gifts. The number of class hours per week may exceed the number of semester hours of credit. Some of the preaching and pastoral course requirements may be adjusted for women and other non-ministerial candidates so as to provide the appropriate preparation and setting for their needs. Women and other non-ministerial candidates will substitute additional elective course hours for the Preaching Labs. M.Div. Degree Emphasis Tracks The M.Div. curriculum offers the student the option of selecting an area of emphasis. This emphasis will be listed on the student’s transcript but will not be designated on the student’s diploma. Included in this catalog are schedules of courses for the M.Div. degree that further define the various emphases and the requirements for each. Jackson Students taking the M.Div. degree may emphasize in one of four areas: Pastoral ministry, Christian education/youth ministry, counseling, and intercultural-studies/missions. All four programs require a total of 106 semester hours. Orlando Students enrolled in the 106-hour M.Div. curriculum may select from areas of emphasis including biblical studies, church planting/missions, counseling, or theological studies. Charlotte Within the 106-hour M.Div. curriculum, a student has the opportunity to take elective courses in systematic theology, biblical studies, and practical theology. A student attains middler status upon completion of thirty-four semester hours and senior status upon completion of sixty-eight semester hours. The curriculum is designed to be completed in three years, but many students choose to complete the curriculum in four or more years. Degree Programs 13
