More than mere familiarity with the Bible is expected of those who share the Word of God. Courses in this area provide a broad-based acquaintance with the contents of the Bible and its theology; its translation, transmission, and interpretation by the vardapets of the Armenian Church; and its appropriation in the lives of the Armenian faithful both past and present.
