Candler’s Master of Theology (ThM) is designed for those who already hold a theological master’s degree and wish to gain greater expertise in a particular area of study. They may want to deepen their knowledge to enhance their vocation or ministry or to prepare for further academic study. ThM students focus on one of many possible areas of study, such as Bible, preaching and worship, pastoral care, theology, history, ethics, world Christianity, or Black church studies. The program is designed as an intensive one-year course of study, although some students may find it advantageous to extend their program into a second year.
