The Muslim Studies Certificate prepares students for effective life and work in Muslim contexts. These courses provide essential understanding of Muslim beliefs and practices as well as various forms of Christian witness. If you work in Muslim ministry or desire to become a missionary to Muslims, this training is for you!
The Master of Arts (MA) in Muslim-Christian Relations provides you with a focused knowledge of the tools and techniques needed to analyze the theology, traditions, and worldview of Islam. It prepares you to engage in research and analysis which is informed by that knowledge and contributes to the ministry of those engaged in cross-cultural life and work among Muslims. While our training focuses heavily on Muslim ministry, it is not just for missionaries to the Muslims. Given that half of the worlds population is either Muslim or Christian, our degree program can be used in a variety of different contexts.
Christians are caught in a dilemma of paranoia and fear in reaction to media distortions of radicalism among Muslims and knowing that these are people for whom Christ died and need to know God’s love. Since 1979, the Zwemer Center has been committed to sending qualified trainers to equip the Church to understand Islam, learn how to build relationships with Muslims, and engage in Christian witness with respect and love.
