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 through the Old Testament (the New Testament will be issued later), 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 possession 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 reca1led 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 specia1ly prepared blank is furnished on which the s'.u­ 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 carefu11y 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 ne~d more light. Enro11ment Fee for the Course-Old Testament only, Three Dollars; New Testament (when issued), Two Do11ars.
