Bible Doctrines

The purpose of this class is to give the student an understanding
of the ten basic major doctrines of the Bible.

• DOCTRINES COVERED:
      In the workbook we will not cover the doctrines in the same order as in the textbook.  We will cover the doctrine of The Scriptures (Bibliology) first, so start with the textbook section entitled "The Doctrine of the Scriptures."  After that we will follow the order of the textbook beginning with "The Doctrine of God."
  
      Index of the Workbook
  I.  THE DOCTRINE OF THE SCRIPTURES  (BIBLIOLOGY)
  II.  THE DOCTRINE OF GOD  (THEOLOGY)
  III.  THE DOCTRINE OF JESUS CHRIST  (CHRISTOLOGY)
  IV.  THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT  (PNEUMATOLOGY)
  V.  THE DOCTRINE OF MAN  (ANTHROPOLOGY)
  VI.  THE DOCTRINES OF SALVATION  (SOTERIOLOGY)
  VII.  THE DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH  (ECCLESIOLOGY)
  VIII.  THE DOCTRINE OF ANGELS  (ANGELOLOGY)

• METHOD OF STUDY:
  1. Student is required to read the text, "The Great Doctrines of the Bible" by Dr. William Evans and the companion workbook by Dr. T.E. VanBuskirk, looking up and reading all scriptures in your Bible that are referenced in the workbook and the textbook.

      a. When a reference to a chapter is indicated, reading of the entire chapter is not required. However, the student may do so if they choose.
      b. When a specific scripture or passage is indicated, then the student is required to read the reference.

  2. Student may not complete more than one section per week.
  Even one section every two weeks is reasonable, given the depth of the material.

  3. There will be a final test at the end of the course.  Final Test will be open book.
  

• Blanks in workbook  The workbook was originally written for an on-campus course and was adapted for use online.  There are blanks throughout the workbook that cannot be filled in online.  They were left there only to help ensure that the students are looking up every reference in their King James Bible.
  

• ATTENDANCE:
  Minimum attendance for the course is 15 weeks.
  Minimum attendance for each lesson in the course is 1 week.
  Course is worth 3 credits.
  

• TESTING:  Make sure you read and submit the Testing Instructions form if you have not already done so.
  - Name entry on tests:  Students are required to use proper letter-case when inputting their names on all submissions to the college.  Example: If your name is John Smith, then input John Smith, not john smith or JOHN SMITH.  If you do not use proper letter-case when you input your name on a test, then the test will be Disallowed and discarded.
  Failed Test  If you fail any test, you may not attempt that test again on the same day.  You must restudy the textbook/workbook and find all of the correct answers to the questions missed and then retake the test no sooner than the next day.

• NOTE: In the textbook there is a mistake in the section Final Chapter "The Doctrine of the Last Things, 1. THERE IS A  JUDGMENT THAT IS ALREADY PAST--THE JUDGMENT AT THE CROSS."  On the first line of the first paragraph the reference 1 Pet 3:24 is given in the list of references.  That reference is incorrect.  The correct reference is 1 Pet 2:24.

Bible Doctrines II.

COURSE NOT YET AVAILABLE !

Through a study of the "Fundamentals of the Faith" you will gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals upon which the modern understanding of the Scriptures is built.  These fundamentals were once believed by all who claimed to be Christian.  This is not true today, as you will find when you study the course, Comparative Theology, and other courses that address modern and older beliefs.  Through this course you will understand better what beliefs are fundamental to true Christian faith and practice.
