The Biblical Studies program enables students to explore the Christian Scriptures more thoroughly than most have previously experienced. You'll examine its profound texts through literary, historical, and theological lenses while discovering their modern-day significance. As you progress, you'll develop understanding and respect for the Bible's original languages - both Greek and Hebrew - distinguishing between direct translations and common paraphrased versions.
Ideal for those considering seminary, this major also fosters a renewed, profound connection with Christianity's foundational text.
You'll engage with biblical context, Christian doctrine, and comparative religion alongside distinguished scholars who offer diverse perspectives. This environment encourages you to pose life's most challenging questions and receive thoughtful, well-grounded responses.
Like other humanities disciplines, religious studies trains students to analyze texts, traditions, artistic expressions, and communities with precision and cultural awareness. While preparing for ministry roles, graduates also gain skills applicable to education, public service, legal professions, international affairs, social work, information science, and numerous other fields.
