PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Bachelor of Ancient Israelite Sacrificial Systems (B.S.S.A.I.) is a comprehensive undergraduate program that provides an in-depth study of the sacrificial system of ancient Israel as revealed in the Old Testament. Students examine the historical, theological, covenantal, and ceremonial significance of offerings, priestly ministry, the tabernacle and temple services, ritual purity, and the fulfillment of these sacrifices in the person and work of Christ. The program integrates biblical exegesis, historical context, theological reflection, and practical ministry application, enabling students to accurately interpret sacrificial laws, teach their relevance within redemptive history, and apply their theological significance to Christian faith, worship, biblical education, and ministry.
