His dissertation has received much commendation within Christian academia. This issue of Newsletter gives an account of the origin and development of the program, together with reflections from the teachers and students about this journey, so as to give the readers a more comprehensive picture of the program.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/en\/?p=68596\/","og_site_name":"\u9999\u6e2f\u6d78\u4fe1\u6703\u795e\u5b78\u9662","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HKBTS1951\/","article_published_time":"2024-05-07T08:46:53+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-02-14T06:53:24+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photo-1-768x250.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"wordpress_publish","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"wordpress_publish","Est. reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/"},"author":{"name":"wordpress_publish","@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/#\/schema\/person\/2eafe310aa0b48fb4f23702fc1ddd6c1"},"headline":"\u300c\u6d78\u795e\u300d\u795e\u5b78\u535a\u58eb\u4e4b\u8def","datePublished":"2024-05-07T08:46:53+00:00","dateModified":"2025-02-14T06:53:24+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/"},"wordCount":96,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photo-1-768x250.jpg","articleSection":["\u9662\u8a0a2021\u5e747\u6708\u865f"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/","url":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/","name":"The Path to Doctor of Theology through Baptism - Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photo-1-768x250.jpg","datePublished":"2024-05-07T08:46:53+00:00","dateModified":"2025-02-14T06:53:24+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photo-1-768x250.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/photo-1-768x250.jpg"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/?p=68596\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"\u300c\u6d78\u795e\u300d\u795e\u5b78\u535a\u58eb\u4e4b\u8def"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/","name":"Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary","description":"Do your best to present yourself approved to God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
