The Alternate Track will replace the 12 credit hours of biblical language required in the Primary Track with four courses for 12 credit hours: BVG 511 Basics of Biblical LanguageBVOT 532 Elementary Hebrew or BVNT 531 Elementary Greek, BVG 621 Interpreting the Biblical Text and two biblical book studies including an Old Testament book study and a New Testament book study. All biblical book studies will incorporate an emphasis on the language aspects of the study, encouraging students in the use of language tools and resources.If a student in the Alternate Track chooses to take one elementary language course, the language course can be used in place of a biblical book study; or if a student takes both elementary language courses, these can be used in place of the Basics course and a biblical book study. In any case, the number of semester hours of language and biblical book studies must amount to 12 SH of BVG, BVOT or BVNT courses.
