Program Overview

God reveals himself through his Word and, to a lesser degree, through his world. This program examines the Bible, God’s revealed Word, in broad introductory overviews of the Holy Scriptures (isagogics) as well as in close reading of a particular biblical book (exegetical studies). This program also studies God’s providence in history. In addition, students receive practical training in the application of their studies in ministry to others.

Through participation in, and upon completion of, the Bachelor of Arts in Theological Studies at Concordia University Wisconsin, students will:

Have a greater understanding of God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures
Appreciate the value of sound Christian doctrine based squarely on the Bible
Develop a heightened awareness of God’s working throughout history
Grow in their relationship with Christ and put his teachings into practice in their vocations
Employ various methods of delivering and defending biblical truth in a relevant and practical way to diverse groups
Demonstrate an understanding of research skills
