Description

The Biblical Studies Minor within the Bachelor of Theology is designed to prepare students for further studies, postgraduate practical training for vocations in Christian ministry or missions, Bible translation and various forms of secular employment including religious education. The structure of this Minor necessitates that it builds upon the foundational biblical and theological subjects which make up the compulsory Bachelor of Theology Core. The Biblical Studies stream requires students to acquire an introductory knowledge of Koine Greek and Old Testament Hebrew or a working proficiency in Koine Greek. Skills in exegesis are expanded to include exegesis in either the English text or Koine Greek. This Minor also enables the student to deepen their knowledge of biblical theology, as exegetical subjects will incorporate issues concerning biblical theology. This element of the course design not only allows for areas of personal interest but also, especially when combined with the Theology Minor, can provide skills required for future vocation such as preaching, teaching, Bible translation or mission work.
