The major academic discipline for all students is the core of Biblical Studies, intended to serve as the basis for knowledge and biblical learning for a lifetime. The entire corpus of Scripture is surveyed, and the essential elements of Christian doctrine are articulated. The procedural skills for credible biblical interpretation are stressed, as is the central role of Christ, the Incarnate God, in historic Christianity. The upper level curriculum includes the study of the church as God’s agent to convey Christ to the watching world. Then an unmistakable emphasis is placed on the ability to gather and convey biblical truth through careful Scriptural exposition. Finally, the Senior Seminar requires that students demonstrate the ability to integrate biblical knowledge into the pressing issues of the day, and thus afford themselves the opportunity to translate biblical faith into real life contexts.
