The overall purpose of this podcast is to give you a broad outline of the kinds of things ministers learn as they prepare to serve the church. Five areas—Bible, history, ethics, theology, and practical theology—make up the

outline of the degree. Each topic forms a course of three or four episodes, with the first 20 or so episodes dedicated to introductory material. We will then begin a series of advanced courses, continuing to examine our five main areas.

Reviews
