To guide the ministerial student in laying the foundation for the professional course in theology by deepening the doctrinal background and widening his Biblical knowledge. 4. To equip the non-ministerial student for intelligent lay-leadership by giving him a broad foundation in Biblical knowledge and doctrine and applying it to life. 5. To have all students acquire a reasonable knowledge of the history of the church and of the distinctive doctrines of the churches of Christendom. “Stir up the gift of God which is in thee.”—2 Tim. 1:6. 22
