CAPSTONE IN BIB STUDIES

This course provides the summative experience for students enrolled in the Master of Arts (Biblical Studies) program. Within the context of an elective course in Biblical Studies, students will write a substantial research paper exceeding by approximately 30% a typical term paper for such a course. This will address a particular exegetical or hermeneutical problem in the interpretation of a text, or another appropriate research topic. In either case, (a) the course is to be completed in the final or penultimate term prior to graduation, and (b) in addition to the written paper, the student's findings are to be presented orally for the corresponding elective course, or to a gathering of departmental faculty and other MA(BS) students.
