The purpose of the M.Div degree is to encourage those involved, or anticipating involvement in Ministry, with a special focus on Urban Mission. With a broad educational component the curriculum enables students to formulate an in-depth biblical, theological, historical and missiological programme that is practically relevant for the Indian context. There is a positive evangelical and charismatic ethos to the course, but nevertheless, the approach attempts to give a critical analysis of all understandings and methods.
The M.Div. program is structured in such a way that in three years it gives the student a balanced exposure to both theological studies and practical ministry. It is a 6-semester program with a total number of 90 credit hours. The course comprises of 18 core subjects and 12 optional subjects, including a thesis prepared towards the end of the final year counting for 6 credit hours.
It has been one of the highlights of my life to visit the Filadelfia Bible College campus in Udaipur in 2009, and to participate in the annual convention in Navapur and the College graduation service. It has also been our privilege to work with two of the College faculty members who have completed their significant PhD research on Indian themes in Birmingham. I heartily endorse the work carried on by this College.
