Students are taught by a faculty of committed, well-educated, and responsible evangelical scholars who seek to model the essentials of a biblical worldview and lifestyle. As students mature in their studies, they will gain a deep understanding of the biblical text and/or the historic Christian faith. Biblical study should never be approached purely objectively. God is to be encountered, not just discussed; and the Scriptures are to be obeyed, not just read. As students grow in their ability to apply scholarly tools to the text, faculty will encourage them to ask, “How does the passage I’m studying apply to my life?” The students’ maturing biblical comprehension will contribute to a deeper Christian understanding of their studies.
