Bishop Barron's Word on Fire Partners with University of St. Thomas for a New Master of Arts in Evangelization and Culture
In partnership between the University of St. Thomas and Word on Fire Institute, the new Master of Arts in Evangelization and Culture offers academically rigorous engagement with the thinkers, ideas, and practical methods necessary to proclaim the Gospel to a secularized and tech-saturated world.
Launching in June 2024, all courses will be taught live online, with an optional intensive in-person summer residency on the campus of UST. Students will have dedicated faculty available to them throughout the program. Faculty will include faithful scholars and Catholic thought leaders, including Word on Fire Institute professors.
Why a Master's Program?
It is no secret that the Church has been hemorrhaging members in recent years. Troubled by polarization, skepticism, and narcissism, our culture aches for the peace and joy of life in Jesus Christ. But how can it hear the truth of the Gospel anew?
To take on this challenge, the Word on Fire Institute and University of St. Thomas–Houston created a brand-new accredited Master of Arts program offering academically rigorous engagement with the thinkers, ideas, and practical methods necessary to proclaim the Gospel in a secularized and tech-saturated world.

Anchored in the eight pillars of Bishop Robert Barron’s Word on Fire movement, with special emphasis on identifying the ‘seeds of the Word’ in the world, the program teaches students how to employ the Church’s rich philosophical, theological, moral, and artistic traditions, both classical and contemporary, to evangelize the culture and draw individuals into, or back to, the Church.
Examples of core curriculum courses include Christology for Evangelists, Biblical Theology for Evangelists, and Reading & Writing for Evangelists. The core curriculum will be supplemented by elective courses such as Dante for Evangelists and Spiritualist for Evangelists.
