Dr. John Willis helps students to gain a deeper appreciation and knowledge of Old Testament writings in his course in wisdom literature. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Joe E. Sanders, Ph.D. Charles E. Bollinger, M.A. Carl McKelvey, Jr., D.R.E. Professor (Chairman) Instructor Assistant Professor The members of the Department of Reli- gious Education are not concerned with teach- ing a new message, but with finding better, more effective methods of teaching an old, but eternally relevant truth—the message of Christ. All students are required to take an introduc- tory course in teaching the Bible. In more specialized courses emphasis is given to gen- eral teaching methods and to the use of facil- ities in conducting Bible classes, vacation Bible schools, and youth programs. Majors are pre- pared to be responsible and intelligent leaders who may provide for the local congregations educational programs which are both scrip- turally and educationally sound. 23

BIBLE “Study to show thyself approved unto God.”’ Many long hours of study, concentra- tion, and prayer have made men who are capa- ble of imparting implicit Bible truths in daily Bible classes. More Bible is taught on the Lips- comb campus to more students than anywhere else on earth. Every graduate who does all of his work at Lipscomb has spent more hours in the study of the Bible than in his secular ma- jor field. Each student is prepared to assume a position of leadership in the church and to offer Christ-like service in every activity of life as a workman who need not be ashamed.

Thos. C. Whitfield, Ph.D. John H. Brown, Ed.D. Professor (Chairman) Professor EDUCATION Dr. Thomas C. Whitfield co-ordinates the numerous activities and programs conduct- ted by the Lipscomb Education Department. 24. Franklin B. Jones, Ed.D. Willis G. Wells, Ed.D. Assistant Professor Associate Professor Associate Professor Thomas I. Cook, M.A. James W. Costello, M.A. Margaret Hopper, M.A. Instructor Instructor Associate Professor (On Leave, 1968-69) An effective teacher must not only be an expert in his field, but he must also be able to communicate his knowledge to others. The experienced instructors in the Department of Education strive to lead their students in mak- ing the transition from scholar to teacher. The attention of the prospective teacher is focused on the professional and practical aspects of teaching. With proper planning, a student may complete the requirements for certifica- tion in any of the fifty states. Those who pur- sue the Teacher-Education Program devote themselves to growing in knowledge so that they may go forth to apply wisdom in service. D. H. Wilkinson, Ed.D.
