Description:
| These two-year M.A. degrees prepare the student for post-graduate work and for a variety of vocational fields, including teaching, research, various Christian ministries and missions and other careers related to Middle Eastern studies, Bible translation.
Our long-term programs of study have been developed over 45 years to offer graduate and undergraduate students an advanced program of biblical history and geography, biblical language studies as well as a first hand experience of the region through a concentrated study of the culture and religions of the Middle East. Long-term students travel the land from Dan to Beersheba, take field trips throughout Egypt, Jordan, Greece and Turkey depending on the program of study in which they are enrolled.
BIBLICAL HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY - The Department of Biblical History and Geography enables students to become well-versed in the history of the biblical world and in the sub-fields of historical geography, archaeology and biblical Hebrew. Upon completing the M.A. degree, students will have had the opportunity to receive a strong foundation in the basic historical and physical realities of the land. At the same time, by studying under leading Jewish and Christian scholars in Jerusalem, students are exposed to the current flow of scholarly discussions and are able to keep abreast of recent discoveries in the field.
Students enrolled in the M.A. in Biblical History and Geography have ample opportunity to draw upon the rich resources of Jerusalem and the lands of the Bible. Numerous field studies provide the student with a first hand understanding of the geographical and historical issues that underlie the ancient history of these lands. By participating in archaeological surveys and excavations, students are exposed to ancient material cultures and the methodology of field work. Students may also become involved with local cultures such as the Palestinian, Bedouin and Druze communities which in many ways reflect the life styles, ways of thinking, interrelationships and ethnic movements of biblical times.
The M.A. in Biblical History and Geography is designed to provide all graduates with a core understanding of the historical and physical realities of the land of the Bible, while allowing the flexibility necessary for individual students to pursue their own interests within the field. By carefully choosing elective courses, students are able to plan a program that emphasizes either the periods of the Old or New Testaments, and either history, archaeology, historical geography or biblical Hebrew.
The M.A. in Biblical History and Geography can prepare a student to pursue further studies at the doctoral level, enhance a preaching or pastoral ministry, or broaden one's general biblical knowledge for teaching in the humanities, ministering overseas, or doing Bible translation. At the same time, students are challenged to incorporate the fruit of their critical inquiry with a deepening of thei | |
