DIVISION OF BIBLE AND CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Chairman, SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND

BIBLE DEPARTMENT Professors DONALD G. DAVIS, J. VERNON McGEE•; Assistant Professors KENNETH B. DANIELS, lIARRY STURZ (acting head); Instructors JoHN GRABER, LEONARD RHODES, HERBERT fuCHARDSON. Objective. The objective of the English 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 enable 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 analytical method first considers a book as a unit in the light of its authorship, purpose, and theme, and then outlines the contents to show the relationship of each part to the whole. The expository method instructs the student in setting forth in detail the fullness of the divine truth. The student who com­ pletes his studies in Biola will take courses representative of each of these methods of Bible study. Requirements for a Major in Bible. The student majoring in this Department must take six additional lower division units in Bible (103, 104, 105) and four units of Christian Education (101, 102) . Six upper division units are required in Bible (301, 302, and one elective), six in Doctrine (303, 401, 402), and four in Missions (201 , 202).
