About

The Divinity program at the Houston Baptist University is an integrated approach to Christian theological graduate education designed to prepare students for enhanced ministry in their churches. Accordingly, the degree program is highly focused personal formation and practical experience in ministry settings.

Overview

About Divinity at Houston Baptist University

The Divinity program at the Houston Baptist University will focus on giving you the core skills needed to understand and apply the Bible in your particular cultural context. So, whether your specific classes focus on biblical, systematic or practical theology, our goal is to help you integrate these so that your ministry is holistic – faithful to God’s word and relevant to our culture.

Our 72-hour program is built upon study in core areas (Practical Theology, Biblical Studies, and Systematic Theology), but you have a large amount of electives within each of these areas as well as further general electives, which can be in one of the areas above or in our other MA program areas: biblical languages, apologetics, classics and philosophy.

Advantages and Opportunities

Our Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree program is shorter than most to make it easier and more cost effective for students, and we have filled the degree plan with electives to allow you to choose the classes that most interest you. We offer the majority of our classes in the evening, in classes that meet one night per week, so you can easily wrap your studies around your work commitments.

However, the idea and practice of discipleship drives the heart of the program. As many have noted before, faith is caught, not just taught, and this principle drives our MDiv. These are the aspects of our program that highlight this discipleship focus:

Spiritual Formation                             

Discipleship begins with your personal relationship with God and his body, the Church. In the first four semesters of the program, students will share life with faculty and other students while focusing on the classical spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible study, community, etc. These courses are designed so that students will have a holistic spirituality that will inform and ground their ministry.

Programme Structure

Courses include:
  • Hermeneutics
  • History of Christianity
  • Systematic Theology
  • Old Testament Theology
  • Spiritual Formation
