The Biblical and Theological Studies program is designed to equip undergraduate men and women with the skills necessary to interpret the Bible faithfully and to challenge them to live and teach effectively in the home, the church, and the world. Building upon the historical and theological framework established in the Christian Worldview program, this major focuses more deeply on interpreting Scripture in its historical, literary, canonical, and redemptive-historical contexts. Students in this major will learn both Greek and Hebrew and will apply their study of the biblical languages to exegesis of select books in the Old and New Testaments.
In addition to careful exegesis, students will also grow in their ability to synthesize and articulate theological truths by participating in a series of upper-division historical, systematic, and biblical theological courses. All courses in this major will impress upon students the need to apply the truth learned to themselves, their church, and the surrounding culture. This major will culminate in the completion of a senior thesis in the final semester. Students in this major will develop a strong grasp of the storyline of the Bible, the remarkable Christ-centered unity between the Old and New Testaments, and the incredible expansion of God’s global kingdom in history.
