美國清教徒改革宗神學院(PRTS)台北改革宗神學院(CRTS)合作,從2020年一月起在台北開始神碩課程。此計劃在台北用模組/密集課程方式提供神碩課程:課程師資是 PRTS 的博士班教授,課程學分是 PRTS 神碩學分。本課程已接受美國神學教育協會(Association of Theological Schools, ATS)認證,其神碩學位將由 PRTS 頒發。成績優秀的學生可直接申請進入 PRTS 博士班。

我們希望這是叫所有關心亞洲神學教育的人非常興奮的消息。這表示,亞洲學生不再須要去美國就可領受最頂尖的改革宗神學教育。PRTS in Asia 也符合清教徒改革宗神學院的宣教策略:與其差派宣教士來亞洲,還不如投資培養亞洲本土的神學師資。此課程內容與 PRTS 同步,學生申請標準就是 PRTS 神碩的申請標準

若您在意亞洲神學教育,也關心正統改革宗神學在亞洲生根發展,我們請您為這課程順利展開與持續進行禱告。PRTS 第一年起步,我們有許多細節須要處理,許多難關須要克服。我們需要聖徒們的禱告!
