DIVISION OF BIBLICAL STUDIES

BIBLE

RICHARD McNEELY, Chairman Objective: The objective of the Bible Department is to train the student in the reverent and effective use of the Bible for personal life, evangelism, 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 ob­ tain 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 au- 1111 thorship, purpose, and theme, and then outlines- the contents to show the relationship of each part to the whole. 1111 The expository method instructs the student in setting forth in detail the fullness of the divine truth. Premajor Requirements: Greek 101, 102. Department Major: 24 upper division units, including 302, 401, 402, and Doctrine 302.
