This program centers on the authoritative texts of the Bible, examining them within their original historical and cultural contexts as well as their interpretation in Christian and Jewish traditions. Participants may study ancient languages and literature as needed for their research, while also developing proficiency in German and either French or Spanish. Comprehensive examinations will assess knowledge of the entire Bible, with a focus on either the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible or New Testament, along with a specialized test related to the student's dissertation topic. Additionally, students will demonstrate basic understanding (equivalent to a minor) in a theological discipline outside Biblical Studies.
