study is Biblical rather than philosophical. The method of study is sensibly dis pensational, and the viewpoint is clearly premillennial. Special attention is given to the problems of liberalism and modern cults in their doctrinal aspects. The lecture method of study is followed and reference is made to the Biblical languages. Reading in standard theological works is required. 301 DOCTRINE OF GOD AND THE BIBLE (3) The doctrine of God, His existence, unity, trinitarian distinctions, attributes, decrees, and works; the doctrine of the Bible, revelation and inspiration, canonicity and au thority; the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit; origin and history of the Bible, canonicity, and versions. 302 DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND SALVATION (3) The person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the Holy Spirit; attention given to doctrinal departures in these areas and other themes related to salvation. 401 DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH (3) The doctrine of the Church, its origin, ordinances, and organization, with careful consideration given to denominational distinctives and the theological issues which underlie its mission. (Those preparing for missionary activity should register for the course taught by the Missions Department.) 402 DOCTRINE OF DISPENSATIONS AND FUTURE THINGS (2) God's prophetic program from the standpoint of the Dispensational and Covenant schools with particular emphasis upon the dispensational approach. 403 DOCTRINE OF MAN AND ANGELS (2) The nature and destiny of angels, of Satan, and of demons; the creation, nature, and fall of man, including the doctrine of sin. 470, 471 (1-3, 1-3) Research methods employed in the solution of traditional and contemporary doctrinal problems. Enrollment limited to Juniors and Seniors with consent of department. Pre requisites: Doctrine 301, 302. DOCTRINAL RESEARCH
MISSIONS
CLYDE COOK, Director
Objectives: The objectives of the Missions Department are threefold: (1) to prepare students for missionary service; (2) to make each student fully aware of the Church's world-wide commission and personal responsibility in its ful fillment; (3) to set forth clearly the needs and problems of mission fields and mission churches. The Missions Department recommends three distinct programs preparatory to missionary activity. These programs are the following:
1. BIBLE-MISSIONS PROGRAM 2. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION-MISSIONS PROGRAM
These programs combine a major in Bible or Christian Education with the electives taken under the direction of the Department of Missions. These elec tives include: Anthropology 301; History 327; Linguistics 301; Philosophy 314; Sociology 404; and six additional units in appropriate areas. 53
