PART I - involves the study of Bibliology (Bible), Angelology (Angels), and Theology.
In Bibliology, two positions are firmly maintained: Verbal inspiration; Absolute
infallibility of the Original Autographs. Angelology is a comprehensive study. The study
of Theology, in its narrow meaning, has to do with the Being of God, his existence,
nature, attributes, decrees, sovereignty, Trinity, works and more.
TD.804 EVANGELICAL THEOLOGIANS - Credit Units = 4
This study deals with Evangelical Theologians and their theologies, and acquaints the
student with what evangelism is and is not. The material directs attention to a
cross-section of influential evangelical experts and their theological posturing, which
have much to do with the basic content flowing from Today's Pulpit
TD.805 ORIGIN OF THE BIBLE - Credit Units = 4
This subject concerns in general the historical development of our Holy Bible. The Bible
is the foundation of the Christian faith. In Doctrine and Theology it is the first
subject, for if the Bible is not the verbally inspired and infallible Word of the true and
living God, then all other subjects are false. Students explore: The inspiration and
infallibility of Scripture; forming of the Canon of Scripture; Scripture as literature;
biblical manuscripts we have found; translations of the Holy Bible.
TD.806 OLD TESTAMENT EXPLORATION - Credit Units = 4
This subject provides extensive coverage in exploring the Old Testament and the subject
content is presented with a living, feeling approach that demonstrates the unity of the
various books to be a vital part of the Book God has given to man. Students will find that
careful investigation reveals the presence of a marvelous divine design running through
the whole of the Bible.
TD.807 NEW TESTAMENT EXPLORATION - Credit Units = 4
This subject deals with the exploration of the books of the New Testament, as well as the
Four Hundred Silent Years. Similar in study design to TD.806.
TD.808 EXEGETICAL DEVELOPMENT - Credit Units = 4
Today there is much confusion over the interpretation and application of the Word of God
in both preaching and teaching. In this study students are instructed in five distinct
methods that will harmoniously work together to assist you in reaching truthful and
accurate analysis of the Scripture.
TD.809 EXPOSITORY PULPIT WORK - Credit Units = 4
This study teaches the student in preaching preparation to discover the original meanings
of selected passages of Scripture, deductively assessing it for abiding principles that
are relative to today, then arranging that material into sermonic form that best lends
itself to oral delivery to people in the pews waiting to hear what God would speak to
their souls. The student is given several practical assignments on this subject and, as
always, emphasis is placed on proper devotions for proper balance.
TD.810 PASTORAL THEOLOGY - Credit Units = 4
In this subject the student will explore the subject in its broad as well as narrow scope:
The called minister; his character; relationships; his education; his work in general; his
pulpit work; administrative responsibilities; spiritual duties; his family; recreation;
health; private devotions; etc. This study offers more than a few quick fixes and key
suggestions. Pastoral Theology is a study of the shepherd (minister), his congregational
and other responsibilities for his God according to the Holy Scriptures. Ministering to
people for the Lord is not a light or simple endeavor. When seriously and studiously done
it will bring great joy, for there is nothing more pleasing to God in his glorious fields
of labor.
TD.811 BIBLICAL ETHICS - Credit Units = 4
This study on biblical ethics is very important to the seminarian. It examines an expanded
list of contemporary issues that are confronting people with questions that demand
answers. It provides the student with answers based on Bible foundation rather than on
Godless, innovative alternatives. The student will find definitive answers that history
reveals as the only absolutes; answers that will stand, in the face of criticism,
philosophies or resistance by so-called Humanists, Atheists or overbearing science.
TD.812 MINISTRY OF MIRACLES - Credit Units = 3
This subject explores people of the Bible, people subsequent to New Testament times,
including some of the twentieth century, and their demonstrations of power by the
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
TD.813 HOLY SPIRIT IN THE CHURCH - Credit Units = 3
I Corinthians 2:4 states ". . . in demonstration of the Spirit and of power."
This is the area of study with regard to the Church. Man and his methods can fail
miserably, when used without the anointing of the Holy Spirit, leaving leaders perplexed.
Yet God gave the Body of Christ the key to the solution to the world's problems - He
empowered them by the Holy Spirit to "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature" (Mark 6:15). The word power is vague in the English language, but
the power of which Jesus spoke is dunamis in the Greek, and carries a threefold
definition: Supernatural spiritual ability; supernatural spiritual strength; and
supernatural spiritual authority. This power has one Source, The Holy Spirit. Attempting
to move in ministry, without the Holy Spirit, becomes a heartache to heaven, and the
laughing stock of hell.
