About this certificate

This certificate program is free because of the generosity of our Vision Partners

The Certificate of Biblical History from AWKNG School of Theology is designed to engage you in theological topics that fully explore the history of the Bible. Consisting of four courses, you’ll develop a solid understanding of how we got our Bible by diving into the manuscripts, scrolls, and documents that were used to form the Bible we have today. You’ll learn about who the writers were and the social and historical contexts they wrote from. You have one year to complete all four courses and once you do, you can request your official certificate of completion to frame. This certificate program is a stepping-stone to the advanced degrees offered by our partners.
