Columbia Bible College - Finial Yearbook (Columbia, SC)

Well, yes and no, is an oft used clause in Dr. Albert McCallister ' s vocabulary. The expression epitomizes a habit of thought towards learning realities. That is, an attitude of a willing acceptance which encourages the student to think further and to dialogue more about the issue. After all, the ultimate purpose of learning is not simply right and wrong answers, rather it is guiding and di- recting the pupil ' s mind to independent and creative thinking. For over a decade, God has been using Mac ' s unique style, a smooth blend between philosopher and pastor, to train fu- ture kingdom workers. The Finial dedication is simply a token of expressed gratitude. In a society that is seldom thankful, we say, Thank you, and please continue to provide your sterling leadership and standard of excellence both in and out of the classroom. DEDICATED TO Dr. Albert McCallister

COLUMBIA BIBLE COLLEGE COLUMBIA GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BIBLE AND MISSIONS 1984 FINIAL High above the sidewalks of Hampton Street in Columbia, crowning each of the twin towers of the old campus, were the bud-like finials. It was these finials, as the crowning adornment of the building, that inspired the name for the yearbook of C. B. C. VOLUME 45 THE COVER The trumpets that God ordered Moses to amake were fashioned from pure hand- beaten silver. They were nearly three feet long, composed of a narrow tube that was flared slightly at one end to catch the breath, while the other end was flared like a bell. Their purpose was to announce the beginning of an event to the congregation (Numbers 10:2-10). On this our 60th year, we would announce to all, God ' s continued blessing to us. Pray for those that are sent out into the harvest, so that when the Lord comes again, with a shout and the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, they will be found as a worker that need not be ashamed.

I came to C.B.C. with training in theology and pastoral experience, and found that the need for apologetics and philosophy was in line with my further interest; and the Lord has led me along in unbelievable ways to the point where I ' m about to get a Ph.D. in philosophy! It still staggers my imagination. My advice to graduates would be along the lines of the great needs which manifest themselves in all unbelieving cultures. Learn as much as you possibly can about the culture about you — its backgrounds and principles — so that when you present the gospel, it goes right to the heart of matters!
