The entire curriculum of the seminary - theology, original languages and other subiects - is designed to contribute in the effective exposition of Scripture. It is possible to study only certain pivotal books, but the method employed is applicable ta the entire Bible. Correlation with present-day life and world problems will be made. The more technical phases of Old and New Testament problems will be reserved to those departments.
