Public Theology
Department Overview
The goal of our Public Theology program is to place students at the crossroads of robust, orthodox Christian theology, contemporary academic disciplines, and developing cultural issues in the marketplace. It is our desire that our graduates will be better equipped to speak with truth, wisdom, and love to the long developing cultural trends of our day and be obedient to Jesus’ command that we should love God and love our neighbors.
If we do our work well, our students will love those things they ought to love, in the order they ought to love them, and they will be enabled to assist those around them to live their lives in such a way that displays the power of the gospel in a recognizably public form.
The Public Theology program takes advantage of an interdisciplinary approach to studies, combining apologetics, missions, and evangelism for a biblical, holistic approach to training.
