Explore Moral & Social Theology

About the Department

The Department of Moral & Social Theology will take the student from the Biblical foundations for personal ethics, family health, and social transformation to current global situations of personal, ministry, social, and government practice. The student will be challenged to engage and apply a Biblical moral and social theology personally, to the family, to issues of health and wealth, and to all matters of social and political interaction.

A highly experienced international faculty will guide each student through this journey of greater theological, moral, social, and cultural comprehension, personal transformation, and ministerial fruitfulness.
