Bauer’s parents taught her at home for most of elementary and middle school, and all of high school. She entered college at 17 as a presidential scholar and national merit finalist, and finished her bachelor’s degree in five semesters with a major in English, a minor in Greek, and a summer spent studying 20th-century theology as a visiting student at Oxford.
She went on to earn a master of divinity degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, where she added Hebrew and Aramaic to her languages. In 1994, she completed a master’s degree in English language and literature at the College of William & Mary; her concentrations were in translation theory, 17th-century devotional poetry, and Psalm paraphrase in the Tudor period. Bauer also has completed a doctorate in American studies, with a major field in the history of American religion.
