Master of Art Religion - Biblical Studies

The Master of Arts in Religion with a specialization in Biblical Studies program provides students with intensive study in the Bible and the essential truths of the Christian faith. Subjects covered are the History of the Bible, systematic theology, and modern strategies for Christian ministry.

The M.A.R. is an academic program which may serve either as a terminal degree or as a degree leading to further academic work. In the former case, it is especially appropriate for Christian professionals (such as physicians, attorneys, teachers, administrators, writers, and other laypeople) who desire simply to provide for themselves a solid biblical foundation for the work in which they are or will be engaged.

When the M.A.R. is conceived of as a terminal degree, the choice of one of four possible emphases will depend upon the individual’s aptitudes, interests, and career direction. Individuals who desire thorough and extensive familiarity with the biblical materials themselves should choose the Biblical Studies emphasis. All of those for whom the M.A.R. is a terminal degree receive thorough grounding in the Scriptures, Reformed theology, church history, and apologetics.

Another purpose of the M.A.R. is preparation for further academic work. An individual taking the M.A.R. in Biblical Studies is particularly well prepared for doctoral work in the field of Biblical Studies and Theology.
