Biblical Education 55 OnemYear Bible Program The one-year Bible program is designed to provide the student with greater Bible knowledge through intensive study of the Scriptures in a single academic year. The curriculum involves surveys of the entire Bible and the major Christian doctrines as well as specific book studies, practical theology courses, and the electives chosen by the student. Whether the student is a college freshman desiring a good foundation of Biblical knowledge in seeking the will of God, a student from an academic program not offered by a Christian college, or an individual just desiring personal enrichment through formal Bible study, the one-year Bible program will equip that individual with greater spiritual understanding so that he or she will become a more effective member of the body of Christ.
