Bachelor of Theology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.; Th.B. or BTheol) is a three to five year undergraduate degree in theological disciplines. Candidates for this degree typically must complete course work in Greek or Hebrew, as well as systematic theology, biblical theology, ethics, homiletics and Christian ministry. It does not require a thesis but is often a year longer than a Bachelor of Religious Education or Bachelor of Arts. In some denominations, notably the Church of England, it is considered sufficient for formal ordination.

In South Asia, many mainline Churches including the pentecostals send their candidates to affiliated colleges under the Senate of Serampore College (University) where B.Th. degree is taught in regional languages.

In some schools, the BTh is a three-year degree for mature students pursuing ordination, who do not hold a degree and for whom the requirement of a Master of Divinity has been waived.
