PhD in Biblical Studies

Earn a PhD in Biblical Studies

Be a Teacher to Teachers

Our Doctor of Philosophy in Biblical Studies will do much more than simply add two letters to the beginning of your name – it will transform the way you understand the Bible and do ministry.

In this terminal research doctorate, you will become a biblical scholar and gain deep insights into the Word of God. Through the program, students will gain a greater mastery of the original languages of the Bible, the cultural backgrounds of the Bible, the significance of the intertestamental period, and the history of hermeneutical frameworks and theological developments from the early church up to the present.

What Makes Our Program Different?

This program blends the American and European model of PhD studies by devoting 40 hours to the coursework phase and 20 hours to the dissertation phase. Other things that set our program apart include:

• It’s designed for life-engaged learners who need to maintain residency near their existing ministries and vocations.
• Courses are delivered in a unique, blended learning model that combines online and face-to-face classes, including three face-to-face learning experiences each year.
• This program uses the cohort model, which allows a group of students to travel the educational path together, supporting and encouraging each other throughout the journey.
