INTRODUCTION
The Bible department exists for the purpose of educating
students for Christian leadership throughout the world.
From this central purpose of training Christian leaders, two
emphases emerge: (1) training ministers of the Gospel of
Christ, including preachers, and youth ministers and (2)
training students who will become active church leaders
and servants in the Lord's kingdom.
The department provides instruction and knowledge of the
Bible and related studies to help students become
intellectually and practically grounded in the Christian
faith. It also provides an environment in which the
student's faith can be a personal experience to be lived and
shared.
Specifically, the department seeks:
1. To prepare for, and deepen faith in God, Christ, and
the Holy Spirit.
2. To instill in every student a deep commitment to the
Bible as the inspired Word of God, and to the
church of our Lord.
3. To furnish basic training for sound biblical
interpretation.
4. To inspire students to develop a life-long practice of
Bible study.
5. To convey an understanding of the history of
Christianity and its contemporary expressions.
6. To explore the nature of religion and the
contemporary world and to understand how
Christianity relates to them.
7. To teach students to think deeply and to formulate
for themselves an integrated and well-grounded
Christian world view with clearly defined goals,
purposes, and assumptions.
The study of the Bible as God's Word is at the heart of the
curriculum of Abilene Christian University and is the
reason for the existence of the university. An education
without a knowledge of the spiritual is sadly lacking,
since only the information and strength derived from the
Word of God can furnish the world view and the sense
of meaning and purpose so necessary to the happy
and usefll life.
