Talbot Master of Divinity Programs
Missions and Intercultural Studies Concentration Mission and Learning Outcomes Provides training grounded in a sound biblical and theological framework for effective intercultural ministry (in both local and international contexts) including cultural awareness and sensitivity, understanding regional and national theological issues, ethnicity and ideology, intercultural communication, and the like. As a result of this program, students will: 1. Be able to exegete the social context in which they are called to serve. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the Bible as a salvation history story that progressively reveals God as a missionary God. 3. Have a growing awareness of the missionary nature of the triune God and the missionary nature of the church as they integrate world missions into leadership. 4. Be able to prepare and present the message of the Bible in a clear, culturally sensitive manner, with sensitivity to story-form of God’s communication. 5. Demonstrate passion for world missions by advocating for world missions throughout their entire sphere of influence. 6. Demonstrate skills of integrating theological and missiological insights in ministry by engaging in specific cross-cultural tasks in course assignments and the field internship. 7. Discover their giftedness in cross-cultural adjustment, their ministry growth challenges and their own personal calling in the kingdom of God.
