Biblical Exegesis

Thorough, intensive, and reverent study of the Holy Scriptures is the very heart of our seminary training. No one can be a God-pleasing public witness of Christ unless with a believing heart he fully understands the whole message which our God and Savior has called us to proclaim to a world of sinners. Certain books of the Bible are taught with special thoroughness in exegetical courses. In this study individual words and phrases, as well as literary structure, are examined on the basis of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Intensive language study during his college training has prepared the seminary student for this work. An exegetical study of both an Old and a New Testament book is given in each of the three seminary years in the classroom.
