In an effort to life an objective from the realm of the theoretical, the Moody Bible Institute strives to fulfill its purpose: “the educa- tion and training of Christian workers, teachers, ministers, mis- sionaries, and musicians who may competently and effectual- ly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Each area of aca- demic communication is geared towards fulfilling this purpose. The educational process begins with the subject matter. Every student at Moody is primarily a student of the Bible. Practical application in the use of God’s Word is offered in eight specialized courses. Through such classes as Com- parative Religions, Church Polity, and Jewish Religious Thought, students are taught the urgent relevancy and application of age-old truths to a modern world. Subject matter is given personality by the vehicle of com- munication, the teacher. Beginning in the formal atmosphere of the classroom, education is continued in a private con- ference on the third floor of Fitzwater Hall. Impromptu stimulation is culminated by the theological discussion in the Sweet Shop between teacher and student. In the course of three years, the faculty loses its oneness in the eyes of the student. He no longer sees a nameless group, but in- dividual personalities. Some have become to him casual acquaintances, while others have made themselves friends, trusted counselors, doorkeepers to the world of educa- tion. Academic life at the Institute includes the memorization of vocabulary lists, the spiritual application from God’s Word by a Bible teacher, the intellectual stimulation of a theology course. It is discussion, argument, study, meditation. It is a beginning on the long road of knowing one’s self and, more important, of knowing one’s God. ACADEMICS
