M.A. in Theological & Biblical Studies

Nourished on Truth.

At 91¿´Æ¬ÍøÕ¾ we are “shaped by Scripture” so that we can be “sent to serve.” This program focuses on the formation of the theologian as a careful and coherent thinker who can precisely and beautifully communicate the truth of God as it is revealed in Scripture. With unmatched flexibility, the curriculum allows students to choose areas of concentration and topics of study that most ignite their passion and evoke the wonder of God. At the heart of the program is a collaborative process of academic research on a narrow topic, forming virtues in students that they will be able to exercise in countless other topics and questions for the rest of their lives.
