It also seeks to lay a good foundation for those persons called of God into full-time vocational Christian ministries. Preseminary Bible Major The Preseminmy Bible Major is 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.
