Jeremiah The Department of Biblical Education is comprised of A) Biblical Studies, B) Phi– losophy and Religion, C) Theology, D) Practical Theology, E) Biblical Languages, and F) Christian Education. This department seeks to provide a biblical foundation for a liberal arts educa– tion, presenting the great truths of the Scripture by studying correct principles of interpretation and proper application in order that the student may be an effective witness for Christ regardless of the vocation which he may be led to pursue. It also seeks to lay a good foundation for those persons called of God into full-time voca– tional Christian ministries. There are two basic majors available. Pre-Seminary Bible Major The Pre-seminary Bible major is basically designed for students anticipating graduate work. It provides a sufficient foundation in biblical subjects and the Greek language and enables the student to select elective courses from other depart– ments which would enrich his personal and professional development. This is an ideal program for that person who believes that God is directing him into the pasto– ral, missionary, or teaching ministry after investing at least seven years in college and seminary preparation. Seminary candidates should also consult seminary cat– alogs to determine specific undergraduate requirements and adjust their program at Cedarville College accordingly.
