STMI-506 : D.Min. Seminar II

A continuation of STMI-505. This Seminar is primarily intended for students pursuing the Doctor of Ministry degree. It is designed to cultivate and foster an in-depth analysis of modern theological expressions of the traditional Christian doctrines, with special attention to the contextual framework out of which such expressions emerge. It seeks to further the theological task of doctoral candidates in the quest for their own tools in the theological enterprise, as well as their search for an appropriate identity in the global community of contemporary theologians and other professional practitioners of religion. Intensive reading, extensive research, and comprehensive reflection and dialogue will be the major process in this Seminar. The specific area of study for this Seminar will be The Essential Mission Of The Church Today - the theological and ethical implications for the Christian life and conduct, as well as the distinctive categories for prophetic witness and social advocacy today.
