What Makes DTS Different?

Bible-centered Curriculum

"I have felt for a long time that there is an imperative need for an entirely new departure in training for the ministry. The major study should be centered on the Bible."

Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer
Dallas Theological Seminary
Founder and President, 1924–52

The study of the entire Bible is a central characteristic of the Dallas curriculum. Every student in a master’s-level program (except Master of Arts in Biblical Exegesis and Linguistics) studies the 66 books of the Bible in expositional and exegetical courses.

Two and one-half years of Greek and two years of Hebrew enable Th.M. students to develop exegetical skills basic to their own inductive examination of the written Word.

A Dallas Seminary education, however, extends beyond the academic pursuit of biblical and theological disciplines to the art of communicating biblical truth effectively. Courses in ministry and communication seek to cultivate in students a sensitivity to spiritual needs, zeal for world missions, fervor in evangelism, and Spirit-filled enthusiasm for effectively communicating the Word of God.
