THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
Course Three Through the Bible by Books and Chapters By JOHN H. HUNTER, Secretary of the Faculty of the Institute
This course carries the student right th rough the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, each book being studied as a whole, and each chapter in each book analyzed. An introduction to each book is furnished, which puts the student in possess ion of the facts concerning the writer of the book, when, where and why the book was written so far as the facts are positively known, or generally accepted by conservative scholars. An analysis of each book is designed to give the student a grasp of its contents by which the material can be recalled to memory. Next, the book is studied by chapters, each chapter being carefully analyzed so as to bring out the lesson-doctrinal or practical-that the chapter contains, and other valuable facts. A specially prepared blank is furnished on which the stu dent records the result of his own study. These are sent to the instructor for examination as each book, or group of books is completed. The work is carefully examined by the instructor and mistakes are marked in red ink. The marked sheets are returned to the student with corresponding compar ison sheets. From the latter, the student can readily see his mistakes, or how his work could be improved. An examination on the introduction and general contents of each book is given before beginning the new book, except in the case of the shorter books where several are taken in one examination. Students are encouraged to state difficulties that arise in their studies, and the instructor gives all the help he can, though he does not promise to solve them all. There are many things on which Bible students need more light. This course requires, as a rule, two years to complete it; students who have more time at their disposal than the aver age person employed during the day, can complete it in less, and will be allowed to do so.
