related vocations and the many other voBiola reserves the right to dismiss a stu

cations 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, Biola's real cornerstone has remained the same: commitment to Jesus Christ and biblical Christianity (within the evangelical Protes tant framework) as well as to the spiritual, academic and holistic growth of those who are personally committed to Him. The Nature and Standards of Biola University Biola University has long recognized a value in maintaining certain behavioral standards that contribute to the atmo sphere on campus, foster fellowship with a wide range of Christians and, in many in stances, assist in strengthening our Chris tian testimony to our community. In this light, Biola University asks both its students and employees to be supportive of this behavioral standard. This institution is for earnest Christians who are sensitive to the many principles of Christian living that are found in the Bible. The institution also states certain specific guidelines for the conduct of faculty, staff and students. Although such regulations are not the basis of our standing in Christ, and are not a necessary consequence of it, they can strengthen the life and testimony of both the individual and the institution. To this end, Biola expects its faculty, staff and students to refrain from the use of al coholic beverages and tobacco and from gambling and dancing. Further, Biola, though appreciating the rich contribution of the arts to mankind, deplores morally deg1-ading elements whenever they are found in the theatre, the entertai nment media and literature: Biolans are expected to abstain from all aspects of such that

dent who, in its judgment, does not con form either to the stated regulations gov erning student conduct or to the ex pressed principles, policies and programs of the university. Doctrinal Statement Inasmuch as the university is interde nominational and yet theologically conser vative, the Articles of Incorporation con tain a doctrinal statement which is 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 are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind. There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus was supernaturally con ceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgi n - Mary, a lineal descen dant 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 cruci fi x ion under Pontius Pilate. God raised from the dead the body that had been nailed to the cross. The Lord Jesus after His crucifix ion showed Himself to be alive to His disci ples, appearing unto them by the space of forty days. After this the Lord Jesus as cended into heaven, and t he Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name 'that is named, not only in t his world, but also in t hat whi ch is to come, and put al l things in

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 pro gram became a four year course, leading to degrees in theology, Christian education and sacred music The School of Mission ary Medicine came into being in 1945, lay ing the foundation for Biola's current bac calaureate nursing program. In 1949, the Bible Institute was renamed Biola College. Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland became presi dent in 1952 and with his leadership, the college obtained regional and professional accreditation. Additionally, many new pro grams 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. Biola moved to the new site in 1959. Dr. Sutherland retired as president in 1970, but conti nues to lend leadership as a member of Biola's board of trustees. That same year, Dr. J. Richard Chase became Biola's sixth president. In the fal l of 198 1, the undergraduate programs in psychology were merged w ith Rosemead's graduate programs, forming the present Rosemead School of Psychol ogy. Dr. Clyde Cook became the seventh president of Biola on June I, 1982. Under his leadership, the School of lntercultural Studies and World Missions was instituted as part of t he university, beginning in the fall of 1983 . Talbot Theological Seminary and School of Theology also began in the fall of 1983 as the resu lt of a merger be tween appropriate undergraduate pro grams and the graduate programs of Tal bot Theological Seminary.

Carrying on a tradition of educational excellence that dates back 77 years, Biola University now encompasses four distinct schools: The School of Arts, Sciences and Professions, Rosemead School of Psychol ogy, Talbot Theological Seminary and School of Theology, and The School of ln tercu ltural Studies and World Missions. Of fering three baccalaureate degrees in 24 majors, 14 masters and four doctoral de grees, Biola's commitment to academic ex cellence is firmly rooted in its adherence to an in-depth, knowledgeable and alive Christianity. Each year, over 3200 students find Biola's unique blend of faith and learn ing conducive to their academic and voca tional goals. Historical Sketch The cornerstone of the original Bible In stit ute buildi ng in Los Angeles - and the future university - was laid on May 3 I , 19 13, and dedicated with these words: For t he teaching of the trut hs for w hich the Institute stands, its doors are to be open every day of the year, and all peo ple, without reference to race, color, class or creed wi ll ever be welcome to its privileges. Spoken by Lyman Stewar t, president of the Institute and founder of the Union Oil Company, the words captured the vision of Biola's founders. Stewart, together with TC Horton, had initiat ed the Bi ble Insti tute, wit h the first permanent organizat ion taki ng shape in I 908. By 19 12, t he school had grown in its outreach and constituency sufficiently to call R. A. Torrey, a leader in the fie ld of Christian education , as the fi rst dean.

subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church. The Lord Jesus. before His 1ncarnat1on. existed 1n the form of God. and of His own choice laid aside His d1v1ne glory and took upon H imself the form of a servant and was made 1n the likeness of men. In His pre-existent state He was with God and was God. He 1s a d1v1ne person pos sessed 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 1s absolutely no er· ror of any kind 1n them. and by the words of Jesus Christ the words of all other t achers must be tested. The Lord Jesus became in every respect a real man. possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. By His death on the cross. the Lord Je sus 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 red med us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse rn our place. He who Himself was absolutely w ithout sin was made to be si n on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The Lord Jesus 1s coming again to this ear·th. personal ly. bodily, and visibly The return of our Lord is the blessed hope of the believer, and 1n 1t God's purposes of gr·ace toward mankind will find their con summation. The Holy Spirit is a person, and rs pos sessed of all the distinctively divine attributes. He 1s God. 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, are lost, darkened 1n t heir understanding, al ienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is 1n them, hardened 1n heart, morally and spiri tually dead through their trespasses and sins. Th y cannot see, nor enter the ki ng dom of God until they are born again of the Holy Spirit

In addition, the institution and certain of its programs are accredited by t he

Men are justified on the simple and sin gle ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood, and are 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 con fess Him as such before their fellow men, become children of God and receive eter nal life. They become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. At death their spirits depart to be with Christ in con scious blessedness, and at the second com ing 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 a personal devil, a being of great cunning and power. "The prince of the power of the air'.' "The prince of this world." "The god of this age." He can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so. He shal l ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone and shall be tormented day and night forever. NOTE: This doctrinal stat ement, pre sented here as originally conceived by the founders of the organization, has been and continues to be the stated theological posi tion of Biola University. In add ition, the fol lowing explanatory notes indicate the or ganization's understanding and teaching position on certain points which could be subject to various interpretations. The Scriptures are to be interpreted according to dispensational distinctives with the conviction that the return of the Lord for H is Church will be premillenial, before the Tribulation, and that the millennium is to be the last of the dispensations.

The existence of the creation is not explainable apart from the roles of God as the sovereign creator and sustainer of the entire natwal 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 bap tism which occurs at the time of regen eration. God gives His gifts to H is peo ple, in His sovereignty and not on de mand. The charismatic manifestations (e.g., tongues and healing) had special significance during the revelatory period of the New Testament apostolic era and are not at all a necessary special work of the Holy Spirit today. Confession before men is viewed as a tangible fruit of salvation and not as a quali fying condition for salvation. Teaching biblical studies for academic credit at Biola University is a complex situ ation. A major goal of all teaching is for t he student to gain knowledge and under standing of the subject matter as well as fa miliarity with the methodology of the field. Such a goal is of importance here. The Scriptures, however, are considered more than academic subject matter. They are the Word of God written for the purpose of revealing God and His actions with the de sire 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 relati ng to the Scriptures. Entailed in the further ance of the divine intent of Scripture are 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. Throughout this di versity of endeavors and the wide variety of gifts and skil ls employed, however, all participants are fi nally engaged in a com mon task which may be summarily stated as the understanding, acceptance and propagation of the biblical faith.
