Overview

The Biblical Studies program at Dallas Baptist University encourages on-the-job training for Biblical Studies majors in cooperation with local churches, hospitals, missions, and other religious institutions.

Goals of the Biblical Studies programme

To equip the student with the ability to articulate a general knowledge of the Old Testament and New Testament.

To provide a foundation of high-quality academic training for ministry, equipping students to serve as pastors, teachers, missionaries, and in other positions of Christian leadership.

To provide the academic foundation that will enable our graduates to be accepted in and graduate from graduate theological programs.

To enable the student to ponder the ultimate questions of life, to develop a strong, maturing, distinctively evangelical faith, and present an apologetic to competing views.

To lay a biblical foundation for the student's task of integrating faith and learning.

To integrate the Biblical Studies discipline with God's truth wherever it is found.
