Biblical Literature - A.B.
Courses in biblical literature and languages are offered to meet general education requirements and as components for majors in Philosophy and Theology, Christian Ministries, Christian Education, Intercultural Studies, Adolescent Ministries, Youth Ministries, and Christian Worship. In addition, the A.B. degree with a major in Biblical Literature is offered.
Purpose
A Biblical Literature major provides a complement to other majors at Indiana Wesleyan University. It enables a student to relate the Scriptures to aspects of life, whatever the planned profession. The Biblical Literature major also offers a good foundation for seminary studies. Some students who do not plan to be pastors desire a concentration of Bible courses in order to better serve churches in various capacities of teaching and spiritual leadership.
