This course prepares Doctor of Ministry students to research and write a doctoral-quality thesis project within the field of transformational religious leadership. Students will hone their academic research and writing skills, develop their DMin project topic, produce a preliminary working bibliography, and create a research plan to begin their project in earnest. This course relies heavily on peer collaboration to increase students' confidence with sharing their work publicly as practitioner-scholars.
