What is Biblical Studies?

Most Christians spend a lifetime reading the Bible. Biblical Studies invites you to spend four years studying it carefully.

You'll examine the historical, literary, theological, and cultural context of Scripture while learning how the books of the Bible fit together into one unified story of redemption. Along the way, you'll develop the ability to interpret Scripture responsibly, teach it faithfully, and apply it wisely.
