Master of Divinity Curriculum Revision folio
The materials in this folio focus on curriculum and are offered as provocative springboards for faculty discussion on retreats or for use in committees charged with responsibility for curriculum revision. Most of these resources are the result of interviews, transcripts of plenary sessions, or the end result of notes taken during the many roundtable discussions held during the ATS Consultation on MDiv Curriculum.
