Vampirology is the scholarly study of all varieties of the vampire, in this case through the lens of the Biblical worldview. Origins, ancient sources, Biblical tie-ins, and cross cultural analysis of vampire lore, records, and encounters comprise the bulk of the course. It is designed to familiarize students with the demonic realities and traits of the vampire.
