Biblical Studies Minor

Minor Overview

The biblical studies minor aims to provide students with deeper understanding of the Bible and its interpretation. Students will develop greater familiarity with the contents of the Bible and the world in which the writings that form the Bible were composed. They will develop familiarity with methods of exegesis (interpretation) and hermeneutics (application) and will grow in understanding of how the ancient scriptures inform theology and Christian living today.

Vocational Applications: The Biblical Studies minor can be a foundation for graduate and professional training leading to careers in pastoral ministry, Christian education, missionary service, campus ministry, institutional chaplaincy, parachurch ministry and teaching.
