Liberty University Personal Statement

When I think of theology, I instantly want to break the word down. I have a science background and understand unfamiliar words by looking at their parts. For me, theology is theo- or God and -ology or the study of. From this, I understand theology to be the study of God. Studying God is most familiar to me as something that members of the historical clergy had the freedom to indulge in all the time. Being allowed to spend unlimited time pursuing the knowledge of God sounds like a fantasy. I find the more I learn about God and his Word, the more there is to learn. I would love to have uninterrupted time to study God. I can picture monks and hermits of the early church secluding themselves from the world, so that they had time to only pursue their relationship with the Father. In the modern age, I think it would …show more content…

I have been fortunate enough to get some study time in as I pursue the Father. I have read the Bible more than once and continue to try to find time to be in the Word on a daily basis. Over the last 22 years, since becoming a believer, I have done many Bible studies. I have participated in Kay Arthur Inductive Bible studies and Beth Moore studies among others. Since being at Liberty University, I have taken Contemporary Worldviews and Survey of Biblical Literature. Both of these classes have helped me to understand God’s word in a new and more meaningful way. I have learned new ways to look at familiar passages and find Scriptures that I have read many times have new meanings as I look at them with the skills I have learned in these classes. I am currently pursuing a degree in history from Liberty University. I love to study the time periods that surround the events in the Bible. I can get a clearer understanding of what the biblical authors were trying to get the people to understand as I learn what was happening in their lives at that

My interest for the scientific area, what Heritage has to offer me, and what I bring to share with the community are the main reasons why I want to study at Heritage University in order to accomplish my academic and professional goals. Science is one of the most interesting areas that touch all kinds of life since a child I was interested in the science to become a scientist or doctor. For instance, during my high school years I took high level courses related to the science including Honor Chemistry, Honors Biology, and Principles of Biomedical Science. Further, I become more curious about the life in their all forms and of the non-ending knowledge that comes with. Beyond high school years, I have been involved in the scientific area due to the satisfaction that research and the possibilities that science brings into my life, how powerful one becomes with the knowledge and the actions taken after obtaining that experience.

It has become more evident how my knowledge and perception about God effects my worldview. In addition, I have a deeper understanding of God’s grace and salvation. Theology opened my mind to see that God is an integral part of every situation I encounter. It teaches me that God’s Word is relevant and has a purpose in all aspects of my life. I am learning to understand the Scriptures beyond the historical content and view them as more than just stories of Christianity.

As I am finishing my four years at the University of the South with a Bachelor of Arts in Politics from one of the US’s top liberal arts colleges, I want to undertake graduate studies in Liberal Arts at Middle Tennessee State University. At the University of the South, the institution has set out a standard liberal arts education, filled with rigorous coursework and impactful departments. Those majors foster close relationships between the faculty and students. But also, the university has allowed me the options to create platforms like Humans of Sewanee, a photography blog that encapsulates the daily life of Sewanee’s students. Before arriving at a graduate program next fall, I will embark on a comprehension examination in politics.

The majority of my life has been spent placing critical life events and accomplishments onto a timeline. For instance, it has been twenty-one years since I first wrapped my teddy bears in bandages and diagnosed their illnesses. It has been eleven years since I decided to become a nurse. It has been seven years since I was first admitted to Texas A&M University and struggled with the pressures of doing well in college while balancing a personal and family life. It has been almost three years since I last stepped foot on Texas A&M soil.

I was fortunate to grow up in a city where diversity and culture are celebrated, New York City. Home of, one of the biggest fashion capitals on the earth, New York City promotes cultural expression through style, food, and social mobility. Although, it is known as a place of free expression and cultural diversity, in my early adolescent years I’ve witnessed many peers, fall victim to close mindedness. I was a target of bullying due to the dark pigmentation of my skin. The treatment I received by my classmates made me feel inferior, discouraged, and I often questioned if being black was beautiful.

Reading about where the bible came from and all the differences between Bibles we now know about, was a new learning for me. Growing up in a catholic church I was taught only from the Catholic Bible and read only reading and gospels from that Bible. I was taught to believe in only what that Bible stated and nothing else. Other Bibles or versions of other Bibles were never brought up to me. It is interesting to know that there are in fact many different Bibles and many different versions of the Bible.

I cherish the fact that the New Testament is the means to eternal life and explains the grace of Christ and salvation. In John 6:68, it says that Jesus Christ has, “the words of eternal life”. Additionally, the New Testament includes words that provided me with a sense of knowledge, appreciation, and happiness. In John 1:4, it reads, “And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full”. Overall, this class was fantastic because it opened up my eyes as too the amount of rich history and analysis that must be taken to understand the significance of the times of Jesus’s birth and how past events are interpreted today.

Every week listening to the lessons in the Gospel from the stories really does help me as a person understand what path is the right one. Since the beginning of time people have turned to religion to answer their problems and that is one thing that I believed has not changed. In this time and age people lose sight of religion as they turn to technology to answer their questions but myths have always been the answer to the mysteries of this planet. “But there is a fourth function of myth... Myths can teach you that” (Campbell 39).

Through taking a semester of Life of Christ I was given the opportunity to take a deeper look at the importance behind the gospel. I learned a vast amount of information that has been very beneficial to my faith. Three concepts covered in this class have especially helped me grow in my personal relationship with Christ. The Atonement, Resurrection and Return units have helped me develop a deeper understanding of Christianity and have helped me better answer questions that I may face when interacting with non believers.

When I hear the word, theology, many ideas come to mind. First, theology is the study of God. It is how we view God, or how we understand God. In my apologetics class last semester, we studied various world views through the examination of how Christians should view the world. I have learned that most religions believe in some sort of supreme being or force as in the biblical worldview, but they have changed God to fit their wants and needs influencing their culture through their daily choices of trying to reach some ultimate reward.

Well theology is a word that is derived from 2 Greek words that make out the meaning of the study of God. Theology is nothing more than the study of digging deep into God’s word so we can discover about what has been revealed of himself. After doing this we get to know God as the creator of the universe. That he is the head honcho.
