Dr. Jerry Moye Emeritus Professor of Old Testament and Spirituality Transformation through Time In 1973, I started teaching at Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary. At that time, there were no Chinese professors with doctoral degrees among the faculty. Now, however, we have a considerable number of well-educated Chinese professors who have obtained doctoral degrees from some of the most prestigious institutions in the United Kingdom and the United States. In my first ten years at the Seminary, I did not have many students in my classes. I remember one year, there were only two graduates from the Basic Theology course. Today, the Seminary has many graduates every year from various courses, and we offer more than one Basic Theology course. ...

Dr. Andres Tang Professor of Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) The Master of Theology program is very different from the previous Master of Divinity program in terms of both learning and teaching. As a teacher, the teaching method adopted by the author also reflects the learning requirements for students. ...

Dr. Wong Fook-kong Professor of Old Testament The Master of Theology program at our college is a program that allows students to study the Bible (Old Testament or New Testament) and explore theology in more depth. This depth is difficult to achieve in basic courses such as Master of Divinity or Bachelor of Theology. In many seminaries in the United States (including the seminary I attended), the Master of Theology program is equivalent to the first year of the doctoral program. "HKTS" has similar requirements. In order to make the doctoral students in theology more solid in certain areas of knowledge, we sometimes require them to take some Master of Theology courses according to individual circumstances. For this reason, Master of Theology students majoring in the Bible must be able to read the original languages of the Bible (Hebrew and...

Lui Kin-sang (Graduated 2010) Acting Senior Pastor of Causeway Bay Baptist Church I completed my Master of Divinity course at a seminary of another denomination. After three years of pastoring, I went to HKBS to study for a Master of Theology course and graduated in 2010. Before officially enrolling, I asked my senior brother about the uniqueness of the teaching mode and learned that it was a small class teaching mode for guided reading learning (guided reading learning)...

Sou Ka-fai (Graduated in 2008) Acting Senior Pastor of Shatin Baptist Church "Theology" refers to the study of topics related to God. The scope of the field is so vast that one cannot fathom it even if one spends a lifetime. I felt that my understanding of theology was quite shallow in the past, and studying for a master's degree in theology gave me the opportunity to enter the world of theology. Through reading, thinking, analysis, discussion and reporting, coupled with the teacher's explanation, I have a deeper understanding and experience of faith. ...

Wong Shun-shing (Theology Student) I have always grown up and served in other denominations, and now as a master's student of theology at Baptist Theological Seminary, what experience do I have in this college that emphasizes the Baptist tradition? Thank God, my classmates who study with me and the teachers who "whip" us have given me a wonderful and special experience, which is a gift from the Lord. My gains are due to both the course arrangement and the hidden courses that are not noticed by others. ...

Chan Hop-ying (Biblical Studies Student) I still remember that when I finished my Master of Divinity, I thought about how I had spent ten years studying work-related courses before I started studying theology. Ministry is a lifelong process. Three years of basic theology courses passed by quickly, and I had to leave campus before I could deepen what I had learned. In order to have a better effect in the ministry of biblical teaching, I had the idea of continuing my studies when I graduated. It was difficult to do both pastoral work and further studies, so I chose to focus on church ministry first. Two years later, the church added several preaching colleagues to share the burden of ministry, and I thought it was the right time to enroll in the Master of Divinity program. ...

Tang Oi-wah (Theology Student) When I share with others that my calling is mission, I often get this response: "Oh! Then why do you still spend time studying for a master's degree in theology?" The puzzled tone made me reflect. Since when did people separate theology and practice into two unrelated things? What kind of faith is the practice without theological reflection? ...

The School established a graduate school in 2000 to offer a Master of Theology (ThM) degree program, and in 2013, it continued to offer a Doctor of Theology (ThD) degree program. Through two basic degree programs - the Bachelor of Theology (BTh) and the Master of Divinity (MDiv) courses, we cultivate workers for the church who can undertake pastoral care, missions, and evangelistic ministries; and the purpose of the establishment of the graduate school is to provide in-depth Theological education provides a group of pastors who have completed basic courses with the opportunity to further their studies, establish a more solid foundation, engage in academic research on the Bible and theology, and be equipped, updated and developed in teaching and pastoral ministry. ...

Vincent Lau Assistant Professor of Practical Theology (Christian Ethics) Over the past five years, HKBS has been moving towards the goal and direction of a "disciple community". The "disciple community" refers to all faculty, staff and students of the college; we are all disciples of Jesus Christ, so we learn to be disciples of the Lord together. This is exactly the practice of the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20): to make disciples of the Lord. For students, if they do not first learn and practice in the community of the college and make themselves disciples of the Lord, how can they practice the Great Commission of "making disciples of the Lord" in the church they serve in the future? ...
