By pursuing a Theology and Apologetics degree from Liberty University you’ll have the additional opportunity to learn about fundamental apologetics issues. In our Christianity and the Cults course, you’ll learn how to identify cults and how to minister to people within them.
We are a teaching university. This means the professors in the classroom with you every week are dedicated to teach, support, and mentor you throughout your academic journey. Plus, they’ll pass along the knowledge they’ve gained from their own experiences in ministry.
While you’re here, we want you to take advantage our resources and technology. Our Freedom Tower, where our John W. Rawlings School of Divinity is housed, has a Scriptorium with a rare book collection including a 111-foot Torah scroll dating back to the 16th century and a functioning Gutenberg Printing Press replica. These are the types of resources and features you’ll have access to while studying with us.
