Biblical Studies

Ronald Meeks, PhD, Chair of the Department of Biblical Studies; Professor of Biblical Studies

Thomas Magers, PhD, Assistant Professor

The Biblical Studies Department offers courses to fulfill and to complement the mission of Blue Mountain Christian University. Department members teach Bible survey courses, required of all students, in addition to a wider selection of courses in the majors and minors.

Both the B.A. in Biblical Studies and the B.S. in Christian Ministry contribute to the experience of a well-informed Christian background, to the practice of a church-oriented ministry, and to a balance of vocational and liberal arts studies. In addition, they provide solid practical and academic foundations for further ministry preparation in seminary or graduate programs in divinity studies. Students are offered biblically oriented principles and perspectives that contribute in a practical way to addressing needs in a contemporary pluralistic society, to personal wholeness and community morality, and to the construction of a Christian worldview.
