UIndy's program is for students like you who want to wrestle with questions of faith and the church from the past, the present, and into the future. Coursework takes you way beyond a Sunday school class as you delve into church history, theology, philosophy, the nature of sin, and more. After exploring the Bible as a historical document, you will gain a greater understanding of the cultural contexts of Christianity. And that's a good way to have a solid foundation for your future.<br>With a degree in religion from UIndy, you'll gain insight both into the greater faith traditions of the church and also into your own calling in life. Graduates from UIndy's Philosophy & Religion Department have had successful careers in fields from the expected (like ministry or education) to others that may surprise you (like law, social work, public administration and business). The skills you can gain with a major in philosophy or religion translate well to many jobs and experiences and can prepare you to seek out your own vocation in a variety of settings.<br>The New Testament is written in a form of Ancient Greek called koine. With a concentration in Ancient Greek from UIndy, you'll explore this ancient language over the course of three or four semesters. Beginning with the Greek alphabet, basic grammar and vocabulary, you'll build the skills necessary to begin reading the letters of Paul and the Gospels in their original Greek.<br>Through your reading of the texts, you'll supplement your understanding of the cultures in which Christianity formed and gain insight into the poetic language of the time. Additionally, you'll see how Ancient Greek has influenced the development of the English language and improve your own communication skills.<br><br>ADVANTAGES<br>Our faculty have been published in a variety of publications, including their own books<br>Faculty members represent diverse backgrounds in academia, ministry, and archaeology<br>Small class sizes allow professors to engage students and help deliver customized learning experiences<br>Students majoring in religion intern with local churches and nonprofit organizations to explore their calling in the world<br>Our academic approach to religion makes room for difficult questions that are new to you
