Online Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies): Logos E-Track

MASTER OF ARTS (BIBLICAL and THEOLOGICAL STUDIES): Logos E-Track

The online Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies): Logos E-Track is an academic degree program designed for persons who intend to pursue further graduate religious studies in biblical exegesis and theology or who desire to broaden and deepen their knowledge in these areas. Students are first grounded in the fundamental principles of Inductive Bible Study. Special emphasis will be placed on a methodical approach to biblical study. Using the Logos interface and studying various biblical texts, students hone their skills in the principles of observation, interpretation, and application.

Building on the foundation of E-Inductive Bible Study, students then focus their attention on the biblical languages. Students will spend two semesters in Greek and Hebrew and will learn the meaning of Hebrew and Greek grammar, a responsible method for word studies, understand how to evaluate commentaries referencing the languages, and finally apply their observations in a lesson or sermon.
