BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH I N 1906 a young men's Bibl e class was organi zed in the Immanuel Presbyteria n Church by Rev. T. C . Horton, Bible teacher of the C hurch. Thi s cl ass soon took on larger proportions and was named "The Fish ermen 's Club. " A short time late r Mr. D. H. Stee le, a n elder of t he same ch urch and manage r of a depa rtment store, requested Mrs. Horton to ope n a Bible class fo r the young women of hi s store, offe r­ ing a large room for the purpose . The class g rew to large numbers by t he com ing in of young wome n from ot he r sto res and was named "The Lyceum Club. " F rom such young people the first stude nts of the Bibl e Inst itute we re rec ruited. In the Fall of 1907 Mr. Horton secured the co-operation of Rev. A. B. Pritchard, pasto r of Central Presbyte rian Church, a nd some day classes were held in the lecture room of that church. It soon became cl ear that a bui ld ing was needed , and seve ral weeks we re spe nt in sea rch of proper quarters. A loca tion was secured on South Main Street, not an ideal loca ti on, but the best then offe red. O n Februa ry 25, 1908, a meet ing was ca lled to effect a pe rman en t organi za tion. At t h is meeting the following persons we re elected as office rs : Lyman Stewa rt , Pres i­ dent ; A. B. Pritcha rd , Vice-Pres id ent ; T. C. Horton , Supe rinte nde nt ; R. A. Hadden , Assoc iate Superintende nt ; B. C. Atte rbury, Sec reta ry, and L eon V. Shaw, Treas urer. There was a rapid deve lopme nt of the school. Mess rs. Horton , Hadden and Pritchard formed t he Faculty a nd took up the teaching wo rk. From the begi nning t he school was eva ngeli stic in character. Shop meetings were take n ove r and con­ ducted, Bible Women 's wo rk was organ ized, a work among Jews was commenced, as was also Span ish Mi ssion wo rk , and wo rk among the men of the oil fields, and Exte nsion classes were orga ni zed in the city a nd surrounding towns . In 1911 the Boa rd of Directors decided upon a n ad vance movement and ca ll ed Dr. R. A. Torrey as Dean. Dr. Torrey entered upon his d uti es in Ja nua ry, 1912. In order to mee t the enlarg ing needs and to pro vide a more suitabl e and pe rma­ nent home fo r the school, a n ew site was purchased at Sixth a nd Hope Stree ts and a building was put up, g rou nd for whi ch was broken on June 22, 1912, and the bui lding was dedicated th e fo ll owin g year. Dr. Torrey co ntinued as Dean until 1924, whe n he again e nte red t he eva ngelisti c fi eld . Ea rl y in the yea r of 1925, Dr. John M . Maclnni s e ntered upon hi s duties as Dean of the Inst itute, in which capacity he served un til the close of 1928. l n the spri ng of I929 Dr. Wi ll iam P. White was elected Pres ident of the In st itute, and Dr. E lbe rt L. McCree ry was appointed Dean of th e Faculty. O n the resig nation of Dr. W h ite in the Fa ll of 1932, Dr. Louis T. T albot, pastor of the Church of th e Open Door, was elected as Pres ident and se rved un ti l th e com­ ing of Dr. Paul W. Rood , who was install ed as Pres id ent in Se ptembe r, 1935. Legal ly known now as The Bible In stitute of Los Angeles, In co rporated, thi s inst itution-wit h a true pionee r spi rit- has take n a forward step in th e fi eld of Chri s­ tia n educa tion. First, it has stre ngthened its courses mate ri all y; and, in the second place, the Insti tute has app lied for and has rece ived State authori za tion for t he con­ ferring of ce rtain degrees. At t he present time, courses are offe red which lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Theology and Bachelor of C hri stian Educa t ion . Rece ntl y, a four-yea r music course has been pla nned a nd authorized, and thi s course will lead to the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Mu sic. Thi s forward step does not mea n any depart ure from the theolog ical and spi ritual standard s of this institution. We adhere ri gidly to our statement of fa ith in eve ry detail.

DOCTRINAL POSITION OF THE INSTITUTE T HE BIBLE I NSTITUTE seeks to co-operate w ith all eva ngeli cal denominations. It has no purpose or thought of fo rming a new denomination. The Institute recogni zes and rejoices in the g reat good that is being accompli shed by the churches of the d ifferent denomination s, and seeks to help them to do even more effi cient work. It des ires and culti vates the fe llowship and co-operati on of all the evangelical denomin ati ons and of indi vidual believe rs in all the churches. Whil e there is a church worshipping on the Lord 's Day in the auditorium of the Bible Institute, that church is an entirely separate organi zation and is no part of the In stitu te . The directo rs and teachers of the Institute a re chosen without regard to the ir denomin ational a ffili ati on, and have always represented a number of di ffe rent denom inat ions and thus is st ri ctl y In te rdenominational. T he Institute, howeve r, does stand fo r a definite doctrinal statement of faith. All its teachers and directors, regardl ess of denomin ational affiliation, a re required once a yea r to sig n the Statement of F aith . All moneys co ntributed to the Institute will be held in violable fo r the teachin g of these t ruths. The Institute is under mo ral and legal obligation to do thi s, and permi s­ sion to teach what is contrary to these truth s would be a violati on of its Con stitution.

STATEMENT OF FAITH I.

T he Bibl e, consisting of all the books of the Old and New T estaments, is th e Word of God, a supe rnaturall y g iven reve lation from God Himsel f, conce rning Him­ self, Hi s be ing, nature, character, will and purposes; and conce rning man , his nature, need, duty and destin y. The Scri ptures of the Old and N ew T estaments a re without erro r o r mi ss tatement in t heir -mora l and spir itual teachings and reco rd of histori ca l facts. T hey a re without e rror or defect of any kind . II. T here is one God, ete rnally ex istin g and mani festin g Himse lf to us in three Per­ so ns-Father, Son and H oly Spirit. III. T he Lo rd Jes us was supe rnaturall y conceived by th e powe r of the H oly Spirit and born of a virg in- Ma ry, a linea l descend ant of D av id . H e li ved and taug ht and w rought mi g hty wo rks and wo nders and sig ns, exactly as is recorded i n the fo ur Gospel s. H e was put to death by crucifi xion unde r Pontiu s Pil ate. God raised from the dead the bod y th at had been na iled to t he cross . The Lord Jesus afte r Hi s cru ci­ fix ion showed Himself ali ve to Hi s di scipl es, appea ring unto them by the space of fo rty days. Afte r thi s the Lord Jes us ascended into Heaven, and the Father caused Him to si t at Hi s right hand in the heave nl y pl aces, fa r above all rule a nd authority and powe r and domini on and eve ry name that is named , not onl y in thi s world , but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subj ection unde r Hi s fee t, a nd gave Him to be Head ove r all things to the Church . IV. T he Lo rd Jesus, before His inca rnati on , existed in the fo rm of God. and of Hi s own choice la id as ide Hi s d ivine g lo ry and took upon Himse lf the fo rm of a se rvant , and was made i n the likeness of men. In Hi s pre-existent state, H e was with God and was God. He is a di vine pe rson, possessed of all the attributes of D eity, and should be wo rshipped as God by a ngels and me n. "In Him dwelleth all the fu lness of the Godhead bodily." A ll the word s that H e spoke during His ea rthl y li fe we re the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them, and by the words of Jesus Christ the words of all other teachers must be tested.

6

V. The Lord Jes us became in every respect a rea l man, possessed of all the essential characte ristics of human nature. VI. By His death upon the cross, the Lord Jesus made a perfect atonement for sin, by which the wrath of God against sinners is appeased, and a ground furnished upon which God can deal in mercy with sinners. He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. He Who Himself was absolutely without sin, was made to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the ri g hteousness of God in Him. The Lord Jesus is coming again to thi s ea rth , persona ll y, bodily, and visibly. The return of our Lord is the bl essed hope of the believe r, and in it God 's purposes of g race toward mankind w ill Find their co nsummation . VII. The Holy Spirit is a person and is possessed of all th e distinctively divine attributes. He is God. VIII. Man was created in the image of God, after His likeness , but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. All men , until they accept the Lord Jesus as their persona l Saviour, a re lost, darkened in their understa ndin g, al ienated from the li fe of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in hea rt, moral ly and spiritualy dead through . their trespasses and sins. They ca nn ot see , nor enter the Kingdom of God until they are born again of: the Hol y Spirit. IX. Men arejustified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Chri st, and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him Who shed the blood , and are born again by the quickening, renewi ng, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God. X. All those who rece ive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their Lo rd, and who confess Him as such befo re their fellow men, become children of God, and rece ive ete rnal life. They become heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Chri st. At death their spirits depa rt to be with C hrist in consc ious bl essed ness, and at the second coming of Christ, their bodies shall be raised and transfo rmed into the likeness of the body of His glory. XI. All those who persistently reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be ra ised from the dead, and throughout ete rnity exist in a state of conscious, unutterabl e, endl ess torment and anguish. XII. The C hurch consists of all those who, in this present dispensation , truly beli eve on Jesus Christ. It is the body and bride of Christ, which Chri st loves, and for which He has given Himself up. XIII. There is a personal devil, a being of g reat cunning and power, "The prince of the power of the air," "The prince of this world," "The god of this age." He ca n exe rt his vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so. He shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, and shall be tormen ted day and night forever.

FOR WHOM INTENDED

T he Institute trains men and women in the thorough knowledge and effective practi ca l use of the E ng lish Bibl e. It is intended for all men a nd women who wi sh to secure the most thorough knowl edge poss ibl e of t he Word of God and who desire to use it in any form of Chri sti an acti vity . T here a re, howeve r, spec ial cl asses of men and women, to mee t whose need the Bi ble In stitute is especiall y adapted: I. Men who a re ca lled of God into· the mini str y of Hi s Word. It was not the intention of Mr. Mood y, when he fo un ded the fir st Bible Institute in this country, to tra in men fo r the pas torate, but after a few years' experi ence it was fo und that ve ry ma ny of its g raduates did find their wa y, sooner or later, into the pastorate. The course of tra ining g iven in the Institute is not planned to supplant that of the theo­ logica l semina ry in prepa ring men for the mini stry ; but for more than a qua rter of a centur y men who ha ve taken th is course have proved its wort h in pastorates at home and in the miss ion fi elds abroad , whe re they have made, and a re making spl end id records as herald s o f the Gospel and winne rs o f: men for Chri st. 2. Graduates of coll eges and theological seminar ies w ho desire to suppl ement the k nowledge obta ined in college and semina ry by a more thorough study of the E ngli sh Bible, practi cal methods of aggressive C hri stian work, and the most effecti ve method s of teaching the Bibl e. 3. Young men and women wh o wish to train fo r the educa t ional work of the church---e .g ., Directors of C hri sti an Educa tion , G irl s' Workers, Boys' Workers, Pas­ tors' Ass ista nts, etc. The im portance of thi s work is being increasingly recog ni zed , and to meet the need we a re offering a hi ghly spec iali zed course in C hri stian Educa­ tion and Child E va ngeli sm. A course evangelical in point of view a nd thoroughly pedagogica l and practi ca l in method . 4. Men and women who are planning to go to the foreig n m iss ion fie ld. Hun­ dreds of men and women who ha ve been tra ined in the Bible Institute of Los Ange les a re now do ing effecti ve wo rk in t he fo reign fi eld . 5. Fo reign mi ssiona ries home on furlou gh . Many of those who have had expe­ ri ence in the fi eld wish during their days of furlough to increase their knowledge of the Bible and th e methods of C hri sti an work now in u se. Not infrequently they fi nd that the re is no p lace so well adapted for thi s purpose as the Bible Institute. 6. Men and women prepa rin g fo r va rious fo rms of Chri stian work such as eva n­ ge li sts, sing ing eva ngeli sts, superintendent s o f Christi an institutions, Sunday school wo rke rs, assistant pastors, church visito rs, city m iss ion workers, rescue mi ss ion wo rkers. 7. Men and women who do not intend to g ive the ir whole time to defin ite fo rms of Christian se rvice, but who desire full er knowledge of the Bible and prac­ ti ca l methods of work , in orde r that they may be more useful in their home churches. La rge numbers of men and women ha ve gone through the Bible In stitute with no intenti on of g iving the ir entire li fe to definite Chri sti an work . of a few of these a fterwa rds ha ve gone into the pastorate a nd othe r form s of Chri sti an se rvice, but man y of them have gone back to their churches to be a help to their pas tors a nd to the Chri sti an life of the ir communities. 8. Men alread y in the mini stry who fee l th e need of a more thorough, accurate and p racti cal knowl edge of the E ng lish Bible . An eve r in creasing number of men who have h ad successful expe rience in the mini stry are coming to the Bible Institute to take ad va ntage of its fac iliti es for equipment fo r increasin g usefulness .
