Shaped by its aim to educate faithful and creative leaders for the ministries of the church, Candler’s degree programs integrate the intellectual, personal, professional, and spiri- tual growth of students. A Candler student’s course of study includes: biblical studies; theology; ethics and society; reli- gion and culture; and the study of religious and ministerial practices such as education, preaching, pastoral care, wor- ship, and church administration. The Candler curriculum is arranged into four general areas of study:
Biblical Studies Through study of the Bible and the history and culture in which it developed, students in biblical studies learn to under- stand and interpret biblical literature. As students gain compe- tency in exegesis and exposition, they become prepared for the roles of proclaimers and interpreters of the Bible.
History and Interpretation of Christianity Students in History and Interpretation of Christianity study both the institutional and doctrinal history of the church.
As students work through the discipline of contemporary CURRICULUM THE CANDLER theology to develop a theological position, the insight and experience of the past strengthens the students’ dedication to serving the needs of the present and future.
Christianity and Culture Christianity and Culture aims to help students better understand the mission of the Christian church in the con- temporary world. It therefore seeks to inform and develop their understanding of self, society, and church through 17 ethical reflection, social analysis, and study of other religious and cultural traditions and ideologies. As an intrinsic dimension of this endeavor, the area promotes an ecumenical conception of Christian identity and mis- sion within a global context. Courses in Christianity and Culture are offered in the fields of Christian ethics, the sociology of religion, religion and personality, missiology, world religions, black church studies, and women’s studies.
Church and Ministry The goal of Church and Ministry is to develop reflective practitioners of ministry, able to respond to situations in which they serve with sensitivity, creativity, skill, and theological integrity. Such development requires dialogical interaction among his- torical and contemporary ecclesial practice, Scripture and Christian traditions, the social sciences, and the student’s own experience.

Baptist Studies Baptist students at Candler come from all the major branches of the Baptist family: Alliance of Baptists, American Baptists, Cooperative Baptists, the National Baptists, Progressive Baptists, and Southern Baptists—not to mention smaller Baptist groups. Baptists at Candler include women and men, people from all parts of the coun- try, and students from diverse ethnic back- grounds. In addition to the core classes, the Baptist Studies Program includes oppor- tunities for Baptist students to get to know one another and work together, typically in conjunction with a Baptist faculty member. Camaraderie, collegiality, and shared learn- ing are thus important and exciting aspects of the program.
