BIBLE Objective . The obj ective of the Bible Department is to train the student in the rever ent 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 synthe tic method of Bibl e s tud y is designed to enable the student to obtain a broad view of the co ntents of Scripture, seeing each book as a whole and its relati on to the other books. The analytical method first considers a book as a unit in the li ght of its authorship, purpose, and theme, and then outlines th e 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.
