Master of Arts in Religion
Church History Concentration
Church history is an integral part of the
curriculum at Cincinnati Bible Seminary. Each degree program offers
some church history, enabling students to have a sense of how
the church has developed over the centuries. Students have the
opportunity not only to learn about the historical development
of the church but also to study how doctrinal and theological
teachings developed within the various religious traditions.
In addition to learning church history within
each of the degree programs, students may choose to concentrate
their studies in the field of church history.
Students who satisfactorily complete the requirements
for the concentration in church history will be able to:
- Communicate a knowledge and understanding
of the history of the church.
- Demonstrate an awareness of the major
influences that have shaped Christianity in the present.
- Develop the ability to think critically
about the perspectives of various historians and their presuppositions.
- Complete graduate level research
and writing in the field of church history.
