NEST was formed in 1932 by the merger of the School for Religious Workers in Beirut and the School of Religion in Athens, Greece. It was built on a history of evangelical theological education going back to 1835. In 1971 the School was moved to its new home: a modern, well-equipped building two blocks south of the American University in Ras Beirut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NEST is an undergraduate and graduate theological seminary offering the following programs: B.A. in Christian Education; B.Th. with emphasis in pastoral studies; B.Th. in Christian Education; M.A.C.E. a graduate program for educational ministries; M.Div. for Pastoral ministry; and the S.T.M. a post graduate research degree.&nbsp; It also engages in a Christian-Muslim Thought Forum, designed to further the engagement of Christians and Muslims around current issues from theological perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/protestantheritagenest.omeka.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEST&#8217;s project on Preserving Protestant Heritage in the Middle East<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embedly-embed\" src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FNQpPQYV2yao%3Fwmode%3Dtransparent%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DNQpPQYV2yao&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FNQpPQYV2yao%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=e23856ccc1f011e0b5e44040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38804,"template":"","region":[20024,20022],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Near East School of Theology - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/near_east_school_of_theology\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Near East School of Theology - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Click here to read the most recent newsletter from NEST The Near East School of Theology responds to August 2020 Explosion in Beirut.
