We believe that a distinctively Christian education means more than simply praying in class ... which is why our emphasis on the spiritual development of our students is un matched by that of any other Christian liberal arts college or university. At Biola, a Christian education means encour aging students to inte grate their faith into daily activities like Christian service projects, athletic competition, social in teraction and relation ships with friends, faculty and classmates. It means that every undergraduate student takes 30 units of Bible. It means daily chapels, featuring top Christian speakers such as Chuck Swindoll, James Dobson, Joni Eareckson Tada and David Hocking. It also means annual Bible and missions conferences, campus-wide days of prayer-and yes, praying in class. At Biola, we believe a Christian education should do more than prepare you for a career-it should prepare you for life!

GENERAL INFORMATION affective potential, and with society being served beneficially thereby In combining the two terms, Christian and university, considerable emphasis is placed upon the scholarly integration of biblical faith with all of the fields of learning, and also upon the practical interrelationships and interdependencies of faith, learning and living as they ore developed throughout the curriculum, the co-curriculum and the life-style. The mission of the university is to produce graduates who ore (o) competent in their fields of study, (b) knowledgeable in biblical studies, and (c) earnest Christians equipped to serve the Christian community and society ot large. An expanded version of this statement is printed in the catalog, for the institution as awhale and also for some of the specific programs. There ore two additional "products" of the university, bath of which are to be viewed as outgrowths of the task of producing graduates of its baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate programs and not os separate from it. One consists of the scholarly contributions to knowledge and understanding which ore generated by students and faculty in the disciplines and in integration with the biblical Christian world view. The other consists of public services as students, faculty and stott make their professional and personal expertise available to the Christian community and to society at large throughout the world. In brief, the mission of Biol □ University is to equip Christians to impact the world for Jesus Christ, primarily through the ongoing lives of its graduates but also through the in-service work of its present students, faculty and staff. DOCTRINAL STATEMENT Inasmuch as the university is interdenominational and yet theologically conser vative, the Articles of Incorporation contain a doctrinal statement which 1s given below: The Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation from God Himself, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need and duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments ore without error or misstatement in theu moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They ore without error or defect of any kind. . There 1s one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and barn of a virgin - Mary, a lineal descendant of David. He lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels. He was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate God rrnsed from the dead the body that had been nailed ta the cross. The Lord Jesus otter His crucifixion showed Himself to be alive to His disciples, appearing unto them by the space of forty days. Atter this the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, and the Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, for above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him ta be Head aver all things to the Church. The Lord Jesus, before His 1ncornation, existed in the form of God, and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. In His pre-existent state He was with God and was God. He is a divine person possessed of all the attributes of Deity, and should be worshipped as God by angels and man. "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." All the words that He spoke during His earthly life were 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. The Lord Jesus became in every respect o real man, possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature By His death on the cross, the Lord Jesus made a pe~ect atonement for sin, by which the wroth of God against sinners is appeased and a ground furnished upon which God con 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 righteousness of God in Him. The Lord Jesus is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly, The return of our Lard is the blessed hope of the believer, and in it God's purposes of grace toward mankind will find their consummation.
C
arrying on a tradition of educational excellence that dates back 79 years, Biolo University now encompasses four schools: The School of Arts and Sciences, Rosemead School of Psychology, Talbot School of Theology, and the School of lntercultural Studies. Ottering three baccalaureate degrees in 22 majors, 13 masters and five doctoral degrees, Biol □' s commitment to academic excellence is firmly rooted in its adherence ta on indepth, knowledgeable and alive Christianity. Each year, over 3000 students find Biolo's unique blend of faith and learning conducive ta their academic and vocational gaols. HISTORICAL SKETCH The cornerstone of the original Bible Institute building in Los Angeles - and the future university - was laid on May 31, 1913, and dedicated with these words: For the teaching of the truths for which the Institute stands, its doors are to be open every day of the year, and all people, without reference to race, color, class or creed will ever be welcome to its privileges. Spoken by Lyman Stewart, president of the Institute and co-founder of the Union Oil Company, the words captured the vision of Biola's founders. Stewart, together with T. C. Horton, had initiated the Bible Institute, with the first permanent organization taking shape in 1908. By 1912, the school had grown in its outreach and constituency sufficiently to call R. A. Torrey, a leader in the field of Christian education, as the first dean. The next seven decades have witnessed tremendous growth in the development and outreach of the school. Under the leadership of Dr. Louis T. Talbot, president from 1932 to 1952, the Bible Institute program become afour year course, leading to degrees in theology, Christian education and sacred music. The School of Missionary Medicine came into being in 1945, laying the foundation for Biol □' s current baccalaureate nursing program. In 1949, the Bible Institute was renamed Biol □ College. Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland became president in 1952 and with his leadership, the college obtained regional and professional accreditation. Additionally, many new programs of study were introduced, including Talbot Theological Seminary. The demands imposed by the growing student body and the enlarged curriculum prompted the purchase of a seventy-five acre site in La Mirada. Biol □ moved to the new site in 1959. Dr. Sutherland retired as president in 1970, but continues to lend leadership as a member of Biola's Board of Trustees. That some year, Dr. J. Richard Chase became Biola's sixth president. In the fall of 198 l, the undergraduate programs in psychology were merged with Rasemead's graduate programs, forming the present Rosemead School of Psychology. Dr. Clyde Cook became the seventh president of Biolo on June l, 1982. Under his leadership, the School of lntercultural Studies was instituted as part of the university, beginning in the fall of 1983. Talbot School of Theology also began in the fall of 1983 as the result of amerger between appropriate undergraduate programs and the graduate programs of Talbot Theological Seminary. Because of the university's heritage and commitment, its academic basis is broader than that of the standard college of arts and sciences. Terminal and preparatory programs lead ta service in both church-related vocations and the many other vocations and professions embraced by the present .curricula. In addition, the university is a Christian institution of higher education without any denominational affiliation. From an institute to a university, Biol □' s real cornerstone has remained the same: commitment to Jesus Christ and biblical Christianity (within the evangelical Protestant framework) as well os to the spiritual, academic and holistic growth of those who ore personally committed to Him. THE MISSION OF BIOLA UNIVERSITY The mission of Biol □ University is to be oChristion university, providing education at the baccalaureate and past-baccalaureate levels in biblical studies and theology, in the liberal arts and sciences, and in selected applied and professional fields It is to be Christion in the sense that the biblical Christian world view serves as the all encompassing framework and integrating basis for the entire content and conduct of the institution. It is ta be a university in the full traditional meaning of the term, with knowledge and understanding being generated and disseminated, with students and faculty continually developing to high levels their cognitive and

out this diversity of endeavors and the wide variety of gifts and skills employed, however, all participants are finally engaged in a common task which may be summarily stated as the understanding, acceptance and propagation of the biblical faith. THE STANDARDS OF BIOLA UNIVERSITY Biol □ University has long recognized a value in maintaining certain behavioral standards that contribute to the atmosphere on campus, foster fellowship with a wide range of Christians and, in many instances, assist in strengthening our Christian testimony to our community. In this light, Biol □ University asks both its students and employees to be supportive of this behavioral standard. This institution is for earnest Christians who ore sensitive to the many principles of Christian living that ore found in the Bible. The institution also states certain specific guidelines for the conduct of faculty, staff and students. Although such regulations ore not the basis of our standing in Christ, and ore not a necessary consequence of it, they can strengthen the life and testimony of both the individual and the institution. To this end, Biol □ expects its faculty, staff and students to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages and tobacco and from gambling and dancing. Further, Biol □, though appreciating the rich contribution of the arts to mankind, deplores morally degrading elements whenever they are found in the theatre, the entertainment media and literature; Biolans ore expected to abstain from all aspects of such that morally degrade. Biol □ University does not presume to be a censoring agency for all activities; it does, however, expect tangible evidence of maturing Christian convictions and discerning judgment. Biol □ reserves the right to dismiss a student who, in its judgment, does not conform either to the stated regulations governing student conduct or to the expressed principles, policies and programs of the university. These standards apply to the student while he is enrolled in any of the schools or programs of the university including summers and vacations, on campus and off campus. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE UNIVERSITY Biol □ University seeks to instruct Christian men and women in order to produce graduates who are: l. Competent in their field of study; 2. Knowledgeable in biblical studies; 3. Earnest Christians equipped to serve the Christian community and society at large. With particular reference to the undergraduate programs, the intention of the university is to seek to produce agraduate who is: l. Broadly educated in the orts and sciences with abiblical perspective as the foundation. a. One who has broad exposure to the ideas that have shaped man's thinking. b. One who knows how to use reasoning processes: (l) who can use the processes of investigation, (2) who con reason logically, (3) who recog nizes that man cannot rely on reason and experience alone but must also exercise faith. c. One who can communicate and defend his· ideas on the basis of evidence. d. One who hos a well conceived system of values and beliefs which are biblically based ond which mediate behavior. e. One who understands ond appreciates ethnic and cultural differences. f. One who understands himself, has o good self-image and is striving to realize his potential. g. One who understands the various creative expressions of man's 1deos and feelings in ort, drama, music ond literature. 2. Competent in his major. o. One who is competently prepared for service in those programs that lead directly to ovocation or profession, with oil programs having the potential of preparing students for Christion ministries. b. One who is thoroughly prepared for graduate study in those programs where graduate degrees ore offered. 3. Knowledgeable in biblical studies. o. One who has aclear understanding of the content of the Bible commen surate in units with an undergraduate major. b. One who has integrated biblical thought into his major fields of interest. 4. Able through his vocation, church and community to make distinctive contribu-
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 personal Savior, ore lost, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spiritually dead through their trespasses and sins. They cannot see, nor enter the kingdom of God until they are born again of the Holy Spirit. Men ore justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood, and ore born again by the quickening, renewing, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit, through the instrumentality of the Word of God. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and their Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fellow men, become children of God and receive eternal life. They become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. At death their spirits deport to be with Christ in conscious blessedness, and at the second coming of Christ their bodies shall be raised and transformed into the likeness of the body of His glory. All those who persistently reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead and throughout eternity exist in a state of conscious, unutterable, endless torment and anguish. The Church consists of all those who, in this present dispensation, truly believe on Jesus Christ. It is the body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves and for which He has given Himself. There is apersonal devil, abeing of great cunning and power. "The prince of the power of the air." "The prince of this world" "The god of this age" He con exert vast power only so for as God suffers him to do so. He shall ultimately be cast into . the lake of fire and brimstone and shall be tormented day and night forever. NOTE: This doctrinal statement, presented here as originally conceived by the founders of the organization, has been and continues to be the stated theological position of Biol □ University. In addition, the following explanatory notes indicate the organization's understanding and teaching position on certain points which could be subject to various interpretations. The Scriptures are to be interpreted according to dispensational distinct1ves with the conviction that the return of the Lord for His Church will be premillennial, before the Tribulation, and that the millennium is to be the last of the dispensations. The existence of the creation is not explainable □ port from the roles of God as the sovereign creator and sustainer of the entire natural realm. Concepts such as theistic or threshold evolution do not adequately explain creation Though there may be many fillings of the Holy Spirit, there is only one baptism which occurs at the time of regeneration. God gives His gifts to His people, in His sovereignty and not on demand. The charismatic manifestations (e.g., tongues and healing) had special significance during the revelatory period of the New Testament apostolic era and ore not at all anecessary special work of the Holy Spirit today Confession before men is viewed as a tangible fruit of salvation and not as a qualifying condition for salvation. Biol □ University does not necessarily deny employment to persons merely for lack of firm personal convictions on any teaching position in these explanatory notes. However, Biol □ University does weigh carefully the understanding and personal convictions of employment applicants on these points as well as the nature of their prospective work assignments, in determining their suitability for employ ment. TEACHING BIBLICAL STUDIES Teaching biblical studies for academic credit at Biol □ University is a complex situation. Amajor goal of all teaching is for the student to gain knowledge and understanding of the subject matter as well as familiarity with the methodology of the field. Such agoal is of importance here. The Scriptures, however, ore considered more than academic subject matter. They are the Word of God written for the purpose of revealing God and His actions with the desire of bringing people to harmony with Him. Our acceptance of the divine nature and intent of Scripture gives ultimate meaning and direction to all studies relating to the Scriptures. Entailed in the furtherance of the divine intent of Scripture ore many facets of study ranging from the practical procedures for the propagation of the Christian faith to the highly technical dimensions of critical biblical studies and philosophical theology Through-
