Four Distinguished Professors Examine Pursuit Of The Word And Its Truth Christianity

Page 14 text:

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my work, then arc ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31, 32) Two thoughts: Serious study of the word is an essential pursuit, and truth is contained in the word. Dr. Glenn: Christianity is a discipline worthy of study in a liberal arts setting. It is not just something tacked on to 'Christianize' Bethel, but rather it is a serious study in and of itself. We want students to think critically and creatively with Biblical data. Dr. Lewis: The main job of the Christianity Department is not to train majors but to give a foundation to students in Biblical history, Christian doctrines, and sound methods of study of the Bible. We attempt to present alternate views with an openness to critical and scholarly analysis. Dr. Stein: Instead of a cold and dry academic approach, we want to study Christianity with the positive warmth of Jesus Christ. We don't want to 'spoon feed' students but rather, encourage them to appraoch the Scriptures openly and honestly. There is reason to be excited. Dr. Wessel: Our primary mission is not to train prc-theological majors but to Biblically undergird the liberal arts education of all Bethel Students. It is interesting to note that over the years, substantial numbers of students have elected to take Christianity courses in excess of graduation requirements. A unique group of men with several things in common: All have earned doctorates, all have had practical Christian experience in missions or in pastoral work, but more important, all seem genuinely concerned with students and student hangups. The doctors four: Dr. Alfred Glenn, Associate of Theology; Dr. Art Lewis, Professor of Old Testament; Dr. Robert Stein, Assistant Professor of New Testament; and Dr. Walter Wessel, Professor of New Testament and Chairman of the Department. This is the Christianity Department: important, purposeful, and a good bunch of guys with much to offer students, and willingness to learn with students, to make them free.
