Central in the studies comprising the educational program of the University are the courses in Bible. To be thoroughly and safely educated, the student must be grounded on the bedrock of the revealed Truth. If there is to be a piety of character, correctness of conduct, and achievement in service, the motivation for such ends must come from a discerning knowledge of God’s Word. In avowing the centrality of Jesus Christ, the Christian philosophy of education makes mandatory a knowledge of the Book that makes Christ known.

The Bowman School of Bible and Theology seeks to demonstrate the integrity of the Bible text, to unfold the meaning of that text, and to reveal its influence on the minds, methods, and actions of men throughout the course of the Christian era.
