Biblical Thought and Literature Program

Purpose

This major program is designed to expose students to the scholarly study of the Bible and theological thought.  It can serve as a pre-seminary degree or as a general undergraduate degree for those not intending to enter directly into church ministry. The Biblical Thought & Literature major enables students to have a larger concentration in Bible and theology (50 semester hours) than the normal Biblical Studies & Theology major (30-40 semester hours).

Objectives

Students who successfully complete the Biblical Thought & Literature Major should be able to: 

1. Demonstrate knowledge of the Old Testament, the New Testament, doctrine and theology.
2. Show advanced skills in personal and practical application of biblical principles.
3. Research and communicate about complex biblical and theological topics.
