Bachelor of Theology
The
Bachelor of Theology degree (
BTh,
ThB, or
BTheol) is a two- to five-year
undergraduate degree or
graduate degree in
theological disciplines and is typically (but not exclusively) pursued by those seeking ordination for ministry in a church, denomination, or parachurch organization. Candidates for this degree typically must complete course work in
Greek and(or)
Hebrew, as well as
systematic theology,
biblical theology, ethics,
homiletics,
hermeneutics,
counseling and
Christian ministry. The Bachelor of Theology may include a
thesis component and may consist of an additional year beyond the coursework requirements for the degrees of
Bachelor of Religious Education and
Bachelor of Arts. In some denominations, such as the
Church of England or the
Presbyterian Church in America, it is considered sufficient qualification for formal
ordination.
