Independent Interdisciplinary Study
Prerequisite: None
Credit Hours: 3
This advanced course provides Doctor of Ministry students with the opportunity to engage in a personalized research project that thoughtfully integrates knowledge, methods, and insights from multiple theological disciplines (e.g., biblical studies, systematic theology, historical theology, practical ministry). In collaboration with a faculty advisor, students will identify a specific ministry challenge, question, or opportunity and design a unique interdisciplinary approach to address it. The goal is to produce a scholarly paper or ministry project that demonstrates sophisticated theological integration and offers innovative solutions or perspectives for contemporary ministry.
