DM.701 INTRODUCTION TO ORIGINS -
Credit Units = 3
This subject provides Bible answers to a questioning world: Who am I; why am I; where did
I come from? Humanistic sources fail to answer because they do not have the answer. The
Bible has the answer, and again displays the superiority of revelation and faith. In the
Genesis Record is found the divine order of the universe - never intelligently
contradicted. A most important study.DM.702 (A-G) BIBLICAL OVERVIEW -

The study of the Seven Dispensations and the Eight Covenants is foundational to biblical
theology, doctrine and philosophy. It gives one a general, `bird's eye view' of God and
his eternal immutable plan for man and the universe. This study begins and ends with time
as a parenthesis within eternity. This subject will give structure to all biblical
subjects, ranging from Origins to Eschatology.
DM.702 (H) DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
Credit Units = 6
Theology or dispensational teaching is an analysis of the subject from the standpoint of
biblical theology. It will disclose the similar thinking of the Early Church Fathers with
documentation. It will refute the adverse contentions of those who teach otherwise, and

God's immutable, eternal plan for mankind and the universe.
DM.703 DOCTRINE I - Credit Units = 5
Theology/Doctrine (teachings) is a systematic teaching of the Holy Bible arrived at by

In this study of `Last Things' regarding the nations, we will consider the Great
Tribulation, which culminates with the holocaust of Armageddon and completes the judgment
of the nations. Some nations will survive and function during the Millennium; others will
not. This study gives attention to Israel's neighboring nations especially.
DM.706 ESCHATOLOGY - ISRAEL - Credit Units = 3
Israel is a central, focal subject between nations and eschatology. To understand
prophecy, it is necessary to see the Church, the Gentile Nation, and Israel in biblical
perspective. This is one part of the eschatological triad.
DM.707 ESCHATOLOGY/THE CHURCH - Credit Units = 3 This study enlarges
on the subject of the Church, and more importantly, on its origin and future Rapture. This

as the sequential order of events unfolds.

Credit Units = 4
This subject continues the advanced study of the history of the Church in America (MA.4).

revealing facts deliberately skipped by secular textbooks, and most important to those who

DM.710 SOCIOLOGY IN BIBLE TIMES - Credit Units = 4
The people, places, institutions, enterprises and communities of biblical times were
different from those of modern times, and even more so in comparison to our Western World.
Scriptures that refer to life, etc., must always be interpreted in their relative
significance to biblical antiquity. This assistance helps the teacher/preacher to
correctly understand the Bible, and how to interpret it in a relative way today.
DM.711 BIBLICAL MORAL STANDARDS
Credit Units = 4
As we close this twentieth century, ministers, teachers and Christian counselors are faced
with a large and varied list of ethical questions and moral issues for which they are
expected to give biblical answers. This study deals with commandments, commissions and
mandates of the Holy Bible. The Christian must make God's voice, in these matters, heard
loud and clear.

Preaching should be the main work of the person called by Christ for that purpose. One has
said, ". . . plan your work and then work your plan." It is important to know
when to preach and what to preach. Strong churches are products of strong pulpits. Plan on
your knees, as well as in your study, and see that each plan is subject to change without
prior notice, as the Holy Spirit leads.
DM.714 THE MINISTER AND HIS PRIVATE DEVOTIONS
Credit Units = 3 Above all else in a minister's life should be his attention to his

to others will keep them close to God.

of Pentecostal outpourings accompanied by tongues, signs, wonders, miracles and gifts of
