Bachelor of Sacred Literature
Purpose: The Bachelor of Sacred Literature is designed for students who consider the study of Biblical languages beyond their opportunity or abilities. We believe that excellence in Biblical interpretation requires a knowledge of the original languages and that the only inerrant versions of the scriptures are the Greek and Hebrew originals, but offer this degree program as an alternate for those students who do not consider themselves able to complete the language study. The requirements for the two bachelor degrees match except that additional New Testament credits are substituted in this Bachelor of Sacred Literature in lieu of biblical language credits in the Bachelor of Biblical Studies.
