f Merrill C. Tenney, Ph.D. Division Chairman The Department of Bible and Philosophy carries the respon- sibility of training future leaders in these fields and of pro- viding for each Wheatoriite ample opportunity to add to his Faith . . . knowledge, a knowledge of the contents and teach- ings of the Scriptures presented in a manner that will enable him to conform his conduct to principle, and his principles to an integrated Christian world and life view. The student of Bible first meets the sages of the Old Testa- ment, studies their history and prophecies, and becomes aware that these truths are God's progressive revelation of Himself to man. New Testament survey courses show the culmination of this revelation in Christ's ministry on earth and make clear His life and teachings, as well as the spread of the Gospel by the apostles and church. A study of the epistles and Revelation rounds out the survey courses by showing the general con- tents and purpose of these books.

Uppefclassmen, through courses in doctrine and apologetics, and majors, through their more intensive studies, interpret, contirm, and integrate the contents of scripture into a philo- sophy of life that answers the vital questions of all time: the origin of man and the universe, their purpose, and their destiny. l'He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life. With these words Christ proclaimed Himself the revelation of Cfod's plan of salvation for man, a revelation today recorded for us in the Scriptures. Here one finds the history of Gods dealings with man in the past, the ex- planation of His workings in the present, and the promise of His eternal presence in the future. Scripture stresses the claim ot Christ as Savior and Lord, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the final and absolute validity of the Bible. Rejected, these truths serve to con- dem man utterly, accepted, they show the path not only to a life of fellowship with God on earth, but also to everlasting life when this world shall have passed away.
