Hooker Instructors : Christian, Day, Dunning, Gabler, Richardson BIBLE Objective. The object ive of the Bible Department is to train the student in the reverent and effective use of the Bible for personal life, soul winning, and public ministry. To this end three methods of Bible study are employed. The synthetic method of Bible study is designed to enab le the student to obtain a broad view of the contents of Scripture, seeing each book as a whole and its relation to the other books. The analytica l method first cons id­ e rs a book as a unit in the light of its authorship, purpose, and theme, and then outl ines the contents to show the relationship of each part to the whole. The expository method instructs the sh1dent in setting forth in detail the fullness of the divine truth.
