Next Cohort Begins
in Summer 2014
Aquinas
Institute’s D.Min. program was launched in 1993, in response to
the call of the U.S. Catholic bishops in their document
Fulfilled in Your Hearing for the creation of doctoral
programs in preaching grounded in the Catholic tradition. To
date, it remains the only such doctoral program in a Catholic
institution.
Since its inception, the Aquinas D.Min.
in Preaching has emerged as one of the premier
terminal degrees
for teachers of preaching with 25 graduates and current students
presently teaching preaching in seminaries, schools of theology,
and ministerial formation programs. Eighteen books by graduates
are now in publication, as well as numerous articles. Our 38
students and 85 graduates have come to constitute a prominent
national voice in the Academy of Homiletics and the Catholic
Coalition on Preaching while also possessing great influence in
their local dioceses, congregations, and religious communities.
