Open your eyes to the intricacies of God's Word in a fresh way by learning Biblical Greek and Hebrew.
You'll learn to interpret the Scripture's language, grammar, and syntax within its original linguistic context, and distinguish the differences between the original and modern translations. The minor will also equip you to apply Scripture in a relevant way that is also sensitive to the text's original context.
Because this minor includes four semesters of either Greek or Hebrew classes, Biblical Languages minors can count these courses toward the foreign language requirement of any BA degree. Christian Ministries and Biblical Literature majors are encouraged to pursue this minor.

Through academic January term trips, you can experience the Holy Land and other biblical locations while also earning course credit.
Holy Land Studies J-Term Trip
The Holy Land Studies trip is based on the campus of Jerusalem University and goes throughout the Holy Land. You’ll travel to Galilee and visit the traditional locations of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. Explore Bethlehem, Nazareth, Caesarea Philippi, and Caesarea Maritima where Paul was imprisoned before his trip to Rome. This January term course fulfills a foundational Bible credit or as a Bible elective.
Footsteps of Paul
This three-week trip to Greece and Italy during J-Term covers a core Bible credit. The trip focuses on Paul’s letters to various churches either sent to or from cities in Greece and Italy during his second and third missionary journeys. Students visit key sites including Thessaloniki, Athens, Corinth, and Rome.
