Bachelor
of Arts in Theological Languages is a rigorous and intellectually enriching
degree designed for students who seek to engage deeply with sacred texts in
their original languages. This program emphasizes the study of Biblical Hebrew,
Koine Greek, Latin, and sometimes Aramaic or Syriac—languages that form the
foundation of Judeo-Christian scripture and theological literature. By learning
to read and interpret these texts in their authentic linguistic form, students
gain a more nuanced understanding of religious doctrine, historical context,
and theological development. The degree is ideal for those pursuing careers in
ministry, biblical scholarship, translation, or graduate studies in theology
and divinity. It fosters critical thinking, linguistic precision, and spiritual
insight, allowing students to explore the roots of faith traditions with
clarity and depth.
