V.P. Black College of Biblical Studies

The Kearley Graduate School of Theology.

Biblical Studies is an excellent way for students to further their understanding of the Bible and the teachings within. However, what differentiates Biblical Studies from other areas of study is that students will not only gain a deeper understanding of the Bible’s historical and religious content but also of their own faith.
