Overview

Key Features

The Theology program from Emory University is designed for students who wish to deepen their knowledge in a particular area of study in order to enhance their vocation or ministry. ThM students may focus on one of four areas: Biblical Studies, History and Interpretation of Christianity, Christianity and Culture or Church and Ministry.

The program offers international students the opportunity to broaden their education through the experience of studying abroad and domestic students the chance to gain greater expertise in an area of ministry or study.

Through their study for a Master of Theology degree, students will gain:

Advanced knowledge in a particular area of theological study (e.g., Christian texts, traditions, theologies, ethics, ministerial practice) in the context of a multiethnic, intercultural, ecumenical and religiously diverse world.
Proficiency in the analysis of a particular area of religious and theological knowledge or practice. Advanced skills in critical and imaginative thinking, responsible interpretation and effective communication.
The ability to produce a substantial, summative research project that reflects knowledge of and serious engagement with the present state of the question addressed, supported by appropriate use of primary and secondary sources.

Programme Structure

Each candidate's program of study is arranged in consultation with the director of advanced studies who serves as the academic adviser for ThM students.

The Seminar is a four-hour course designed to help students develop reading, writing and critical thinking skills and prepare a major research paper.

In the first third, students are given a theme to get them thinking. For example, liberal theology, where students learn to negotiate traditional theology in contemporary settings.
