HOW STUDYING THE BIBLE DIRECTS OUR STORY:
Hear from MA in Biblical Studies and Christian Thought students Hanna Lucas ('15) and Matt Hama ('17), as well as Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Dr. Andrew Perrin, about how TWU's MA in Biblical Studies and Christian Thought can help prepare you for pastoral ministry or doctoral studies.
Study alongside internationally recognized scholars and mentors.
Become part of one of the most dynamic religious studies departments in North America. The Master of Arts in Biblical Studies and Christian Thought at Trinity Western University is a specialized academic program led by expert faculty who prepare students to interpret Scripture and to investigate the major issues involved in biblical studies and the history of Christianity.
Together, students and faculty engage in original research and critically examine biblical and related theological texts. They learn to formulate their own written contributions to the scholarly conversations in a style that is both professional and compelling. Students also benefit from visiting scholars by means of colloquia and department-sponsored seminars.
The MA in Biblical Studies and Christian Thought has a proven and widely recognized track record of preparing graduates for entrance into and completion of Ph.D. programs at leading academic institutions, where some of our graduates are now taking up academic positions.
