Divinity - Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School

Divinity from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Master of Divinity The four curricular areas integrate the three emphases found in our mission statement: to educate men and women, lay and ordained, for ministries that are ?pastoral, learned and prophetic.? Pastoral theology (PT) emphasizes the ?pastoral? arts. Christian Scriptures and Christian Faith emphasize a learned approach to the study of the Bible and our theological, ethical and historical heritage. The emphasis on ministry in a multicultural and multi-religious world highlights the prophetic task of ministry in a new millennium. Yet, at a deeper level, each one of the four curricular emphases is ?pastoral, prophetic and learned,? for each curricular area is taught in an integrative way that blends these three distinct emphases. To give an example, the study of Scripture is more than learned. A learned approach to the Christian Scriptures leads to a prophetic reading of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Scriptures. In turn, we teach Scripture in ways that emphasize its use in the pastoral work of the church. Electives in the Curriculum The Master of Divinity is divided between required courses and electives. Of the 26 courses in the curriculum, 16 are required and 10 are electives.
