REV. H. H. WAGNER, D.D. Doctrine Biblical Theology Systematic Theology X REV. MARMION L. LOWE, D.D. English Bible Old Testament Interpretation New Testament Interpretation Class Teacher '49 ' Page Twenty-two Thou shalt love DOCTRINE-An examination of the teachings of the Scripture concerning its doctrines. The following are considered minutelys Attributes and Office Work of the Triune God, His Dealing with the Problem of Sin, the Substitutionary Atonement of Jesus Christ, the study of the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit and a study of Dispensational Truth. BIBLICAL THEOLOGY--A study of that branch of Theology which treats of the Messiah, His identity, the necessity for and manner of His entrance into the world, His reception here and final victory and enthronement. Following this, a term is given over to the study of Messiah in the Old Testament prophecies which are ful- filled in Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The third term takes up the study of Israel in the New Testament, especially in Matthew, Romans, and Hebrews. This course, therefore, is a Messianic and Prophetical Study. SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY-This is a detailed study of Bibliology, and many important doctrines of God's Word, not only from the Scriptural standpoint but also from the standpoint of the world about us. This study strengthen's one's faith, makes one's consecration to God much easier and his life consequently of far greater value to himself and to the world. ENGLISH BIBLE-The object is not so much inter- pretation as information, that is, to become well inform- ed with the salient facts, persons, and incidents of early Biblical record. Every promise, every law, type and chapter of the Old Testament story is discovered to have its final, fullest expression in the Lord Jesus Christ. These facts are made readily apparent by a simplified system of Bible marking. OLD TESTAMENT INTERPRETATION-A study of the Old Testament Scriptures, built upon English Bible, having three chief objects in view: to find Christ in every book and chapterg to gain the true meaning of these Scriptures in the light of the Gospel of Grace, to acquire the living, eternal message of each book for the times in which we live. NEW TESTAMENT IN TERPRETATION- The law of Biblical Interpretation and exegesis is to find out the mind of God through the word of God, under the direc- tion of the Holy Spirit. Dr. F. E. Marsh. This year is spent in the study of the laws of interpretation and other important truths of the New Testament. the Lord with all thy heart. Matthew 22:37.

REV. JOHN M. SIVEWRIGHT Evangelism REV. WILLIAM S. HAWKS, A.B., Th.B., D.D. New Testament Greek 1 New Testament Greek 2 Greek-English 2 EVANGELISM presents the Bible as the Word of God, in which we find God's plan of Salvation-a perfect plan for imperfect man to be reconciled to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Evangelism is the message of Salvation. It presents the Lord Jesus Christ as God's plan of Salvation. Luke 19:10- F or the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Evangelism and the Gospel are one and the same. The Gospel is the good news that Christ died to save lost humanity and rose to justify the believer. Christianity is nothing less and can be nothing more than relationship to Christ, the Saviour. The course of Evangelism undertakes to furnish the student with a working knowledge of the Scriptures as they can be used in leading lost men and women to the Saviour. NEW TESTAMENT GREEK l-A continuation of grammar in which the foundation is laid for the trans- lation of the Greek New Testament. NEW TESTAMENT GREEK 2-In this study the student reaps the benefit of his grammar course by the actual translating of certain Epistles from the original language in which they were written. GREEK ENGLISH 2-NEW TESTAMENT WORD STUDY-This course has as its purpose the discovery of the truths hidden in the Greek words, and to inspire the student to do independent research in this inex- haustible gold-mine.
