New Testament concentration
Our MA in Biblical Studies program is available online with a New Testament concentration. The Old Testament concentration is not yet available due to the ongoing development of online Hebrew courses. We are working to get MABS – OT online in a manner that preserves the unique relational component and focus on mentoring, but it is a work in progress. You are welcome to contact us about what makes our Hebrew instruction different and how we could help advance your studies in this area.
