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.

BIBLICAL INTRODUCTION-That we have our Bible to read and study all Christians rejoice, although few know the many experiences through which it has passed that it may come to us, from God, in all the beauty of its inspired message. The purpose of this course is to search out the origin of the sacred Scriptures, to even enter into the great ex- periences of the precious Word of God in its many trials and hardships, fire and hatred, through which it has passed as God has miraculously preserved it for His people. Though such a study as this is sadly neglected, yet a knowledge of the subject is imperative, because the course is planned to give the student a foundation upon which to build his more detailed Bible study. Included also in the course are suggestions as to quali- iications necessary and methods for 'more fruitful study of the Bible, also a Bird's eye view of the entire Bible. BIBLICAL ANTIQUITIES-The study of the history of all nations from antiquity,-especially Israel in rela- tion to God's plan for the ages, as found in Biblical records and corroborated by archaeological and geolog- ical discoveries.The historical setting of the New Testa- ment is studied together with happenings of the Inter- Testament years.
