Religion & Theology at Taylor: The Best of Both Worlds

If you study Religion & Theology at Taylor University College, you will learn to take the biblical injunction “love the Lord our God with all your heart, mind, and soul” seriously. You will be encouraged to approach the study of Religion & Theology in a way that is academic and methodologically sound, culturally relevant, theologically rigorous, and evangelically minded. In this way the Religion & Theology program at Taylor gives you "the best of both worlds." You get the high academic standards you would expect from a university setting, as well as the practical training and spiritual focus you would expect from a Bible College.

"I attended two other post-secondary institutions before finally discovering Taylor offered exactly what I wanted for my undergraduate experience. It provides a university education with added benefits such as small class sizes, teachers who have time to help me and care about me, and a vibrant Christian community to be part of! One day I hope to go on to graduate studies, so it is also very beneficial to me that Taylor is fully accredited and offers the courses I need. What impresses me most is not only the knowledge of my professors but how they provide an example in integrating their wisdom with everyday life." -Ellen Sabo 4-Year Religion & Theology Program Graduate

At Taylor, we believe the Bible is God’s Word and that we should apply the best of biblical scholarship to help us understand the Scriptures. Courses in systematic theology, spirituality and ethics will encourage you to live as a Christian. Finally, we realize that religious beliefs have a profound global impact; therefore the open-minded study of other religious traditions is crucial.
