I have added a new page on my blog for undergraduate students who might be interested in an academic career in biblical studies. I have seen lots of advice on getting into a Ph.D. programs around the blogs, but not much discussion for how to approach your foundational studies as an undergrad. I had been planning it for some time now, but just got the inspiration to complete it–or at least get a first draft–when I read Brandon talking about his determination as a classics major in his interview.

I know I would have benefitted to think about the implications of the sort of routes you might take as an undergraduate interested in biblical studies. If you have advice or commentary on what I’ve posted thus far, please, please, please write some comments over there. What did you do with your undergraduate years? How did it help or hinder? I’d like to have it be a good resource with lots of gathered wisdom. Thanks!
