Biblical Literature - A.B.

Purpose

A Biblical Literature major 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.
