As an alum of Baylor University, I am pleased to see them on the list
below. May I add another alma mater? Union University is a Southern
Baptist university in Jackson, TN that offers a four year degree in
Christian Studies-Biblical Languages. The URL for Union is
http://www.uu.edu/. It is a smaller school than Baylor, so it also
allows a little more in the way of small classes and mentoring (although
Baylor is working on that as well). Several of the professors there are
friends of mine, and I have confidence in their scholarship (even if
their choice of friends isn't always the best! Grin). May God bless
your search for a school!
