The Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies equips students with the exegetical, linguistic, and theological knowledge and skills needed to interpret the Bible faithfully in a contemporary context. This major prepares students for seminary and other graduate work in Bible, theology, and related disciplines and provides students with a grounding in Scripture and theology that will be useful in ministry positions.
Objectives:
Upon graduating from the program, students should be able to:
- Interpret Scripture accurately in its literary, canonical, and historical context using the inductive Bible study method.
- Utilize an intermediate knowledge of Greek in interpreting the New Testament.
- Articulate the overarching narrative and unifying themes of Scripture.
- Address contemporary challenges and questions in light of Scripture and classic Christian teaching, particularly Wesleyan-Arminian theology.
