Thank you very much for your comment, it was very helpful! The truth is that you are right, I could see criticism from a critical point of view without breaking my beliefs. I think I will follow in your footsteps at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and after that I will try to get to the USA in some top University already knowing a little more languages. How did you do it to enter the Hebrew University? Is it difficult to enter there? I do not think I can enter this year due to the economic issue, but I hope that next year I will. I would like you, when you start your studies, to tell me what the master is like, I am really interested in going there. I hope we can keep in touch. Thanks to the other users who also helped me on this topic. Cheers!

I understand, thank you very much for your answer. I seek to escape a bit of biblical criticism. I know that in the first level universities it is impossible, but will there be one that is less dedicated to that subject than others?

Hello! how are you? I am from Chile, South America and it is my first post in this forum. I am writing because I am finishing a Master's in Missiology at a denominational university in my country (surely you have not even heard of this place ? ha ha). I took this course because it was the only reasonable option for me at the time, but in reality I have always searched for something about the Old Testament with a concentration on the Ancient Near East. I'm looking for a master's degree that is, in some way, more conservative, but I think that in first-level schools that does not exist. What "more conservative" options are there in the best schools in the US? Will I have to look at a denominational school? I have also thought about going to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for M.A. in the Bible & the Ancient Near East to learn Hebrew and Akkadian. After finishing I plan to see options that give me the opportunity to study a PhD in the religious area (OT with a concentration in ANE), but the truth is that I do not know if this is a master's degree like that of Jerusalem will help me to choose a school of religion, because the program is not religious. To summarize, I'd like to end with an Old Testament PhD and Ancient Near East, hopefully more conservative. It is difficult what I ask, I know, but I would like to know if anyone has any idea of what I could do with my life ... haha Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers!
