Resources for the Study of Evangelism

Perkins School of Theology recognizes the importance of training church leaders to have a thorough understanding of the theology and practice of evangelism. For this reason, Perkins offers several means of furthering the study of evangelism.

Continuing Education

The Center for Evangelism often works with the Continuing Education Office at Perkins to provide CEUs for pastors. Many of the events that the Center organizes include the possibility of receiving CEUs, and many of the CEU events at Perkins include Center-sponsored courses. For more information, please see the Perkins Continuing Education site.

D. Min.

A Doctor of Ministry Track in Evangelism is offered for pastors who have received their M. Div. and want a more intensive study of how the theology of evangelism interacts with the life of the local church. For more information, please see the Perkins Doctor of Ministry site.

Ph. D.

There is a great need for qualified persons to teach evangelism in mainline seminaries in the United States.

Persons seeking to prepare themselves as scholars and teachers in the field of evangelism may do so by obtaining a Ph.D. in Religious Studies, offered by the Graduate Program in Religious Studies at SMU. Working within the classical disciplines of the History of Christianity or Systematic Theology, candidates may shape the program of study so as to gain expertise in the history of evangelism or the theology of evangelism.
