Master of Arts in Apologetics and Evangelism (MAAE)
The Master of Arts in Apologetics and Evangelism prepares students to defend and proclaim the Christian faith with clarity, conviction, and compassion.
Engaging the Mind, Proclaiming the Gospel
The MAAE is designed for those called to articulate and advance the Christian faith in a questioning world. Students complete a shared core of Bible and theology coursework alongside focused training in apologetics, evangelistic engagement, writing, public presentation, and reasoned dialogue. By integrating theological depth with persuasive communication grounded in humility and character, the program equips graduates to address intellectual doubts and proclaim the gospel with wisdom and grace.
Program Goals
Students in the MAAE program will:
- Evidence a general knowledge of Christian theology, including an ability to support their theological views;
- Demonstrate a general knowledge of the Bible, including an understanding of the message and arguments of specific books of the Bible;
- Display Christlikeness in their pursuit of knowledge and relationships within the seminary community.
- Demonstrate the ability to respond thoughtfully to intellectual objections to the faith and to construct a truthful case for the essential tenets of Christan belief;
- Engage respectfully and charitably with those who hold differing perspectives;
- Display an effective strategy for evangelism in keeping with sound theological preparation and cultural sensitivity
