Division
of Biblical and Theological Studies
The
administration and faculty at Brewer Christian
College and Graduate School truly believe that
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work.” (II Timothy 3:16&17,
NIV). At Brewer Christian College and Graduate
School, the Word of God is the foundation of each
program of study. All students pursuing an undergraduate
degree are required to complete a major in Bible
consisting of a foundational core of 29-44 semester
credit hours of Bible and theology, and 39 hours
of Bible and Theology based professional studies.
We believe that every student should complete a
Biblical Studies major for the following reasons:
-
We
affirm the Divine inspiration, truthfulness,
and authority of both the Old and New Testament
scriptures, in their entirety, and the only written
Word of God, without error in all that it affirms,
and the only infallible rule of life, faith,
and practice.
-
We
affirm the power of God’s word to accomplish
His purpose of salvation. The message of the
Bible is addressed to all mankind, for God’s
revelation in Christ and in Scripture is unchangeable.
Through it, the Holy Spirit still speaks today.
He illuminates the minds of God’s people in every
culture to preserve its truth freshly through
their own eyes
-
The
Bible provides the foundation for effective and
powerful service to God through vocation in the
Church and in the world.
-
The
Bible provides an individual with a standard
for living a Godly and purpose filled life.
