Bible 9

Provides an interactive study of Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, encouraging students to have a passion for growth in Christlikeness as they encounter the truths of Scripture. The book of Acts covers Christ’s continuing work through the apostles who, by the power of the Holy Spirit, spread the Kingdom of God, even while facing persecution. The Epistles show the truths that ground believers and allow them to live out their faith. Finally, Revelation is the climactic fulfillment of Christ’s triumph over all things. The course is based on the BJU Press textbook The Triumph of Christ. Classes are divided by gender.

Bible 10

Is an introduction to several major doctrines related to the Word of God, the nature of God, man in God’s image, salvation, and the church. Students learn basic systematic theology skills for collecting and accurately summarizing biblical data. Biblical application skills are taught to enable students to relate Scripture to their own lives. A biblical worldview is incorporated to help each student develop critical thinking towards real-world issues, ultimate reality, and culture. Classes are divided by gender.

Bible 11

Includes study of both a biblical worldview and world religions. Students learn what a worldview is as well as the importance of seeing all of life through the lens of the biblical story line of Creation, Fall, and Redemption. Major world religions—including Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Roman Catholicism—are compared to the truth of Christianity. Classes are divided by gender.

Bible 12

Covers four major topics. A section on Bible study explores use of genre in Scripture as well as appropriate application to modern life. A personal evangelism and discipleship section includes study and hands-on training in these topics. A section on gender examines the institution of the family and gender roles in church and society. An apologetics study prepares students to defend their Christian beliefs against common objections to Christianity.
