(SYMBOLS: BBL, RPH)

Knowledge of the Bible is essential for effective Christian living as well as for any type of Christian work, whether one plans to attend graduate school or enter directly into ministry. The department seeks to help each student examine the scriptural basis for their faith and to guide the student in the use of foundational tools for grasping the content and application of God’s Word. Students are encouraged to think carefully and be intellectually honest while affirming the place of biblically grounded Christian faith in the pursuit of truth. The Department of Bible, Religion, and Philosophy offers a major and minor in Biblical and Theological Studies, a major in Philosophy, and minors in Church Leadership, New Testament Greek, and Religion and Philosophy.
