Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: SEBTS Graduate Degree Programs

The purpose of the Master of Arts New Testament is to enable students to accurately interpret and faithfully apply the New Testament text by increasing their (1) competency in the Greek language, (2) facility in sound hermeneutical principles, and (3) ability to synthesize key theological themes. It will prepare students for faithful interpretation of Scripture in various ministry settings, and for advanced academic study of New Testament studies beyond the Master’s degree.

Admissions Requirements

Admission to the MA New Testament presupposes undergraduate preparation consisting of an accredited Bachelor of Arts in a complementary field such as Theology or Biblical Studies. Students must have completed 3 hours of New Testament survey, 3 hours of Old Testament survey, 6 hours of Biblical Hebrew, 6 hours of Biblical Greek, 6 hours of Theological Studies, and 6 hours of Practical Ministry in their undergraduate coursework to be admitted into this program.
