BIBLICAL INTRODUCTION .... All Christians rejoice in the fact that they have God's Word to read and study. However, few of them know the experiences through which it passed in order that we might have it today. The purpose of this course is to search out the origin of the sa- cred Scriptures and to learn of the great experiences in hardship, fire, and hatred through which it has passed. Through all of these experiences God has miraculously preserved it for His people. A knowledge of this subject is necessary, though much neglected The course gives the student a foundation upon which he may build more detailed Bible study. Included also are sug- gestions as to qualifications necessary and methods for more fruitful study of the Bible. BIBLICAL ANTIQUITIES .... The study of the history of all nations from antiquity .... especially Israel in relation to God's plan for 'the ages, as found in Biblical records and corroborated by ar- chaeological and geological discoveries Included also is the study of the setting of the New Testament together with happen- ings of the Inter-Testament years.
