"The input and influence of Talbot's Bible exposition program has been invaluable to me in the pastoral ministry. The education has enabled me to understand and explain the Scriptures to others in such a way that they are built up and equipped for service. Few seminaries can compare to Talbot when it comes to getting the student into the Word." W'll' n· k '1' lb tAl - 1 1am uor , ia o umnus Pastor, San Clemente Community Church COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

FACULTY
Professors: Rosscup Associate Professor: Busenitz (Valley Extension Center) , Hunter
Since there is no substitute for an efficient ministry in the preacher's native tongue , special emphasis is devoted to the exposition of the Bible . The entire curriculum of the seminary - theology , original languages and other subjects - 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 to 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 . Matters of Hebrew and Greek are related where they influence an interpretation, but these are not an emphasis in the overall exposi tion. Special examination is given important pssages and con cepts in this branch of study . BE 505 HERMENEUTICS AND GENESIS (4) A study of the fundamental principles for a sound interpretation of the Bible , including general rules for all Scripture and special principles for poetic, parabolic , prophetic and typological por tions . Also , an exposition of the book of Genesis, with special effort in demonstrating the use of hermeneutical principles. Par ticular emphasis given to the developing themes in the flow of thought, as well as to problem areas . Themes studied in rela tionship to later Old Testament and New Testament revelation. Prescribed for M.Div. , M .A. (B.S. , O .T .), M.A. (Min .) and M.A. (Mis .) students.
