Biblical & Theological Studies
Bring the Bible to the Real World
Biblical Studies is a multidisciplinary program that draws on insights from a variety of academic fields. In your studies, you will explore the ancient languages, history, social setting, and literary genres of the biblical text. Additionally, students learn how to interpret the Bible and its reception in contemporary contexts such as the church, the academy, and in popular culture. This degree prepares graduates to become effective leaders in the church, in parachurch organizations, or in further graduate work.
