Immersion in Theology and Scripture for Gospel Transformation

The Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies) builds a strong comprehension of theology, rooted in a thorough investigation of the Scriptures, with an eye toward gospel-centered transformation. Students will find themselves academically fit and spiritually prepared as informed theologians for work as a ministry leader, pastor, or educator, or for professional people whose ministry is in the market place.

The 56-credit M.A. (Biblical and Theological Studies) offers:

  • The option to complete your degree on campus or online
  • An emphasis on gospel-centrality for spiritual formation and theological understanding
  • The opportunity to develop your own theological position directly from the Bible, rather than adopting an institutional doctrinal position
