Old Testament Concentration

The Old Testament contains narratives about people, places and events that are far removed from us in time and cultural context, which can make it feel like foreign territory. By focusing your biblical studies major in the Old Testament, you will have the opportunity to understand how God's revelation to the people of Israel speaks to us today. You will also learn to recognize how the Old Testament is marked by unity in its themes, regardless of its great diversity of material. Gordon's Biblical Studies Department has a tradition of integrating the study of the Bible with theological discourse. Our faculty hold degrees in a variety of scholarly fields, and draw from their experiences in pastoral ministry, research, scholarship and world travel in order to serve you---not only in the classroom but also through life together at Gordon.
