ILT’s Christ School of Theology is offering two exciting courses for master’s level students during the January 2025 Term. These courses are BT 644: Romans, and PT 532: Death and Dying. In addition to providing our students with the opportunity to more quickly advance through their programs, either of these courses would serve as excellent opportunities for pastoral continuing education.
