Christian Endurance Studies
Christian Endurance Studies encompasses theologies of persecution,
kingdom prayer, endurance, suffering, risk, martyrdom, and joy

Our research and training contributes to this
existing rich, historical conversation
by applying covenantal theology, ethics, and biblical knowledge
