The primary objectives of the doctrine courses are (1) to give the student a thorough grasp of all the major doctrines of the Word of God; (2) to correlate the whole into one defensible system which will form a solid foundation for the understanding and intelligent use of the Bible; (3) to promote warm Christian experience and spiritual maturity. The approach to all areas of doctrinal 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) T·he doctrine of the Church, its origin, ordinances, and organization, with careful consideration given to denominational distinctives and the theological issues which underlie its mission.
