Biblical and theological study is both academic and deeply personal. It equips us to consider and develop key questions, like who is God and what is the purpose of humanity?
As a biblical and theological studies major at 成人直播, you鈥檒l engage a wide array of ideas, while using biblical text as a primary source. You may reenact first-century Jerusalem in full costume or study environmental issues through a faith-based lens. You'll take courses taught by well-traveled faculty with expertise in pastoral ministry, literature, missions and archeology.
Through the study of Scripture, your faith will come alive as you learn to think deeply about what it means to live a God-Centered life, thereby building a strong foundation for life and potential ministry.

The biblical and theological studies major nurtures faithful and critical reflection on Christian tradition through three primary lenses: the study of Scripture, the study of theological and ethical discourse, and the study of other religious traditions. Students are invited to delight in a richer understanding of and witness to the Scriptures in conversation with both the Christian church and the world. A majority of graduates pursue careers in church or church-related ministry or mission; some pursue graduate studies in Bible, theology, or religious studies. Other graduates have been successful in careers in law, community transformation, business, consulting, and teaching.
