Russell p. Spitt ler, M.A., B.D. Doctoral Candidate Division of Religion It was the beginning- -it will serve to the end. Fifty years of didactic instruction, Holy Spirit inspiration, and practical interpretation. The division of religion offers a variety ' of approaches to the foundation of Christianity- - the Bible. Through exegetical study, principles of sound interpretation, utilization of archeolog- ical and literary backgrounds, SCC has infiltrated our mission fields and military sei ' vices with more students than any other Assembly of God college. The student body not only contacts superior instruction from the faculty members, but benefits from outstanding personnel in individual areas from pastors with Ph.D. ' s and chaplains. Supplementary specialists are integral elements of the ever expanding department of religion. Whether through the concentration of Bible or religious education, Bible majors receive intense study in preparation for the ministry or graduate programs in anticipation of ministries in teaching, or entering allied professions in such fields as education, social work, and youth evangelism. This department influences each student ' s approach to Christianity, uniting liberal arts studies with the vital discovery of Christian relevance in education. All make contact- -all are influenced.
