Peace Studies - Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary

Peace Studies from Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The purpose of the Master of Arts: Peace Studies (MAPS) program is to provide the environment for a deepening understanding of and commitment to the biblical vision of peace and justice and its embodiment in the world. The program is grounded in the assumption that Christ calls us to become part of a new community whose mission is to participate in God's reconciling work throughout the world. While not designed for a specific profession, the MAPS program prepares students for peace and justice ministries from congregational to worldwide levels. The principal thrust of the MAPS program since its inception has been reflection on the biblical, historical, and theological foundations of peace and justice. Attention is also given to experiential learning, contemporary social ethics, and the contribution of the social sciences to peace- and justice-making. The MAPS faculty seeks to take seriously the hermeneutic that knowledge grows out of obedience and obedience grows from hearing the Word. They are thus committed to assisting students in the integration of action, reflection, and prayer. View more details on Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary .
