Biblical Literature - A.B.
Courses in biblical literature and languages are offered to meet general education requirements and as components for majors in the Division of Practical Theology. 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.
