Byron Shearer The Department of Biblical Education is comprised of Biblical Studies, Philosophy and Religion, Theology, Practical Theology, Biblical Languages, and Christian Education. This department seeks to provide a Biblical foundation for a liberal aiis education, presenting the great truths of the Scripture by studying coITect principles of interpretation and proper appli– cation 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 ofGod into full-time vocational Christian ministries. There are two basic majors available. Preseminary Bible Major The Preseminary 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 departments which will en– rich his personal and professional development. This is an ideal program for the person who believes that God is directing him into the pastoral, missionary, or teaching ministry after investing at least seven years in college and seminary preparation. Seminary candidates should also consult seminary catalogs to determine specific undergraduate requirements and adjust their program at Cedarville College accordingly.
