7 Academic Advantages of Biblical Studies Courses
Improved Critical Thinking Skills
Biblical studies courses require students to analyze and interpret complex texts and ideas. This can both help to improve critical thinking skills through extensive lessons on a text that has remained a core part of many cultural and societal developments for centuries.
Enhanced Cultural Literacy
The Bible is one of the most influential books in Western culture and history. Studying it can help students understand the historical, cultural, and literary contexts that have shaped our society as well as many others throughout the world.
Broadened Knowledge of World Religions
The study of the Bible can provide students with a deeper understanding of world religions, such as Christianity and Judaism. Beyond understanding more about the texts within, you can also broaden your knowledge of major religions that influence the daily lives and values of others across the globe.
Improved Writing and Research Skills
Biblical studies courses often require students to write research papers and essays, which can improve their writing and research skills. Many versions of the Bible also utilize a broad vocabulary which can introduce students to new words and styles of writing.
Perfect for Religious Homeschooling
For parents that wish to homeschool their children in an environment centered around their family’s values, Biblical studies courses can enhance their children’s understanding of Biblical history, content, and philosophy that have shaped ancient and modern belief systems for millennia in an engaging classroom environment.
Preparation for Ministry
For students who are interested in pursuing a career in ministry, biblical studies courses can provide a strong foundation in theology, biblical interpretation, and pastoral care. It also can assist in working towards other career paths, such as becoming a military chaplain.
Preparation for Religious Higher Education
A strong foundation in Biblical knowledge can prepare students who are preparing to attend a Christian college or university. Many of these institutions require core or elective courses centered around the Bible as part of their curricula to obtain an undergraduate or graduate degree. For seminary students, a strong foundation in Biblical theology is an essential component for completing a degree program.

What is Biblical Studies Directed Reading?
The Biblical Studies courses are designed using a directed reading model. Directed reading is a course in which the student and/or the faculty member select books on specific topics which the student then reads and completes projects directly related to those books’ subject matter.
Courses can take anywhere between two months to one year to complete depending on how often the student reads. For instance, a student could read one book every three months and after a year would earn credit for the class. Or, a student may choose to read one book each month to earn credit in just 16 weeks.
Another benefit of using the directed reading model is that if a student wants to explore a different subject matter they only need to email the faculty member a description of what they want to learn about, or hit the Request A Course link, and a new course is tailor-made for the student. As well, students not only get to choose what they want to read, but also what kinds of assignments they would like to complete. Each directed reading activity gives the student a variety of options ranging from writing assignments, to producing a video, or creating a podcast as potential ways in which students can demonstrate their knowledge of selected topics.
