FACULTY
for, and limited to, M.A. (B.S., N.T.) students. BE 517 HERMENEUTICS AND BIBLE STUDY METHODS (4)
Professors: Rosscup, Doerksen Associate Professor: Busenitz (Valley Extension Center) Assistant Professor: 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 exposition. Special examination is given important passages and concepts in this branch of study.
