The Master of Arts (Biblical Studies) is designed primarily for those who anticipate a teaching ministry in the Bible but are not led toward ordination or the pastorate. It is a two-year, full-time programme for university degree holders which can serve as a stepping stone toward the PhD at many institutions. Rigorous preparation in biblical languages, extensive training in exegesis, and understanding the essential doctrines of the church prepares the student to succeed in the calling to teach and to serve the church through research in Biblical studies. Preparation in a worshipful and caring community ensures a holistic approach to learning.
Students enrolled in this programme can choose to focus on either the Greek or Hebrew language in their exegesis courses.
