Note:
Certificates are designed to allow you to complete a coherent grouping of degree-credit courses at university level as either part of or independent from a full degree program. The number of courses required for any given certificate varies upon the subject area and specialization.
Biblical Studies help students develop a fundamental competency in biblical history, literature, interpretive methods and theology through contemporary critical methodology. You will survey selected world religions in their traditional and contemporary expressions, taking account of their historical development and cultural contexts.
This certificate will enable you to explore biblical texts in their historical and literary contexts, various forms of biblical interpretation and the evolution of Christianity and contemporary issues. Students in the program come from diverse backgrounds and usually include interested lay people, church workers and candidates for the ordained ministry, church school teachers (from a variety of denominations) and students generally interested in the humanities.
