Program Overview
About this program
Doctoral study in Revival Evangelism is for those training congregations and evaluating what actually works. This ICAS-accredited program is about conversation rather than technique. Kingdom of Life University covers what the gospel actually is, stated precisely enough to share; how objections work when they come from a person rather than a debating opponent; witness across cultural distance; and the follow-up that almost nobody plans before it is needed.
Competency-Based Ministry Assessment
Recognition of demonstrated learning in theology and ministry
Experienced ministry practitioners demonstrate competencies developed through years of service, theological study, and continuing learning. The assessment connects that learning with the published outcomes of the Doctor of Philosophy in Revival Evangelism through biblical understanding, theological reflection, research, and ministry judgment.

Major Subject Areas
The fourteen subjects you study, and the ones the ministry assessment draws on
Foundational and Major-Core Subjects
Four foundations every pathway shares, then four that belong to this field.
Doctoral Seminar: Biblical Interpretation
Reading Scripture with someone who does not accept it, and handling the passages that come up first when an outsider starts asking.
Doctoral Seminar: Old Testament Theology
The Old Testament's account of God's intention toward the nations, which is where the New Testament's mission theology comes from.
Doctoral Seminar: New Testament Theology
The gospel as the New Testament announces it, in its several summaries, and the reductions that quietly lose something essential.
Doctoral Seminar: Christian Doctrine
The doctrine at stake in evangelism: sin, atonement, conversion, and what is actually being asked of a person.
Doctoral Seminar: Biblical Theology of the Gospel
What the gospel is, stated with enough precision to be shared: the biblical announcement, its main summaries, and the reductions that lose something essential.
Doctoral Seminar: Personal Witness and Conversation
Ordinary conversation as the usual setting for witness, covering questions, listening, timing, and the difference between an invitation and a transaction.
Doctoral Seminar: Congregational Evangelism
Evangelism as a congregational practice rather than an individual gift, including how worship, hospitality, and service function as witness.
Doctoral Seminar: Apologetic Objections in Practice
The objections people actually raise, handled conversationally rather than as a debate, and the judgement about when an objection is a question and when it is a wound.
Specialization Subjects
Six more that take the field into the places it actually gets used.
Doctoral Seminar: Evangelism Across Cultures
Witness across cultural distance, covering worldview, honour and shame, community decision-making, and the ways the gospel is heard differently.
Doctoral Seminar: Discipling New Believers
What follows a first response: the early months of discipleship, the habits established then, and the common failure to plan for them at all.
Doctoral Seminar: Evangelism and Social Concern
Evangelism and social concern held together, with the history of their separation and the practice that keeps proclamation and compassion from competing.
Doctoral Seminar: Training Others to Witness
Equipping a congregation to witness, including training design, practice, feedback, and the realistic expectation of who will actually do it.
Doctoral Seminar: Spiritual Formation and Christian Vocation
Witness sustained over years, including discouragement and the temptation to treat people as projects.
Doctoral Seminar: Integrative Theology and Ministry
An evangelistic project in a congregation, with training, practice, follow-up, and honest evaluation of the result.
