The Directed Readings in Biblical Studies course is a directed program designed to expose the student to a breadth of historical Biblical interpretation, Church History and Biblical Worldview philosophy. During the course, the student will read a large volume of reference literature from a pre-selected list determined by the course advisor. Application of the material provides the student with resources for preaching, teaching or personal Bible study.
The course involves reading 100 pages per day, 6 days a week for 12 weeks. Reading material will be decided by the course supervisor. You will work approximately 6 -8 hours per day.
