Summary of academic program:

My program of study at university will be Biblical Literature. I will study at Oral Roberts University located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I chose this area of study because I truly believe that the message of the gospel is life changing. Jesus is able to save not only the body, but also the soul. He is the most important thing.

Here is a description provided on the university’s website:

ORU’s Biblical Literature program is an exciting and interesting major that is designed to give you a greater understanding and application of the Word of God. As a Biblical Literature major, you will begin to interpret the Bible through the lens of a theological and historical framework accessed by hermeneutical and exegetical tools.
If you choose to major in Biblical Literature at ORU, you will have the option to choose one of three concentrations: English Bible, Old Testament or New Testament.
