"God's Word must be made the groundwork and subject matter of education." "The study of the Scriptures should have the first place in our system of education."—Coun- sels to Teachers, pp. 16, 86. These days of advancing technical standards in all fields of study call for a more intensive and de- voted study of all the things of God on the part of those who would be in a special sense His servants in a needy world. With a view to affording to teachers, editors, ministers, and other Christian workers an opportunity for advanced study and research, the Autumn Council of the General Conference in 1933 voted to establish an Advanced Bible School to hold sum- mer sessions. The wisdom of this action was abundantly demon- strated by the success that attended that work. In 1936 the General Conference session approved the establish- ment of this institution and instructed the General Conference Committee to proceed with plans for its permanent organization and location. In the same year the Autumn Council of the Committee changed the name to Seventh-day Adventist Theo- logical Seminary. The Autumn Council in 1937 authorized a building to house the Seminary. Seminary Hall, containing class- rooms, library, auditorium, and teachers' offices, was dedicated January 21, 1941. The Master of Arts and Master of Arts in Religion degrees have been granted since 1942. The Bachelor of Divinity degree was authorized in the spring of 1945. 11 GENERAL INFORMATION ORGANIZATION The Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary is sponsored by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Its constit- uency is the General Conference organization serving in all parts of the world field. The officers of the General Conference, the secretaries of the Department of Education, the presidents of Seventh-day Adventist senior colleges, the president of the Semin- ary, and nine elected members constitute the present personnel of the Board of Trustees. OBJECTIVES Preachers and teachers of the Word of God need not only a broad acquaintance with the fundamental branches of knowledge but also a specialized training in their chosen fields. It is the purpose of the Seminary to provide opportunity for this training by offering such courses in graduate study and research as will contribute to the advancement of sound scholarship in the field of Bible and in related fields, in harmony with the teachings and educational philosophy of the Seventh-day Adventist denomina- tion, and also to provide instruction in the practical application of its program of study. The courses are arranged with special ref- erence to the needs of ministers, teachers of Bible and history, missionaries, editors, and Bible instructors, but will be helpful to all teachers in Christian schools, as well as to other classes of Christian workers. Students who are qualified to do graduate work may pursue sequences leading to an advanced degree. There are other students not primarily interested in obtaining a degree who are qualified by age and experience to do acceptable work in various lines of research. It is the purpose of the Seminary to provide opportunity for such students in lines for which they are prepared. This enables ministers, teachers, and missionaries from home and foreign lands to study in the fields of their spe- cial interests without the need of meeting the requirements for graduation. 560 THE FACULTY The Seminary as a graduate school and a training center for the world-wide activities of the church must provide not only high skill and scholarship and spiritual leadership but also an in- timate interchange between the practical experience of the church at work in the world and the theoretical classroom instruction. Faculty members are granted one quarter in six out of residence for research work or field work in the organizations of the church. A portion of the faculty is made up of church leaders who are en- gaged in the active work of the church at home and abroad. For a quarter or two each year these teachers, with the consent of their employing organizations, give their time to advanced and specialized instruction in the Seminary. This plan provides vital training for workers from various sections of the world field and greatly strengthens the interrelationship between school and field. The Seminary furthermore enjoys the instructional service of a number of men whose work and background is of a more technical nature. They give individual courses of lectures touching upon some of the technical aspects of church work with which the min- ister and religious teacher should be acquainted. In addition to this, it is the policy of the Seminary from time to time to invite visiting lecturers whose courses will provide stimulation and broaden the interests of the students. DEGREES CONFERRED The Seminary is incorporated under the code of laws of the District of Columbia relating to degree-conferring institutions, and is licensed under the Board of Education of the District of Co- lumbia to grant the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Religion, and Bachelor of Divinity. Study for the degree of Master of Arts is done with concentra- tion in five fields: Archaeology and History of Antiquity, Bible and Systematic Theology, Church History, Biblical Languages, and Homiletics and Speech. CERTIFICATES AWARDED For students desiring short intensive courses leading to certifi- cates, without respect to scholastic entrance requirements, the 13 Seminary offers three curricula: (1) Pastor-Evangelist Certificate Curriculum (three quarters); (2) Bible Instructor's Certificate Curriculum (two quarters); (3) Foreign Missionary Orientation Certificate Curriculum (two quarters including one quarter in residence at the Seminary, and one quarter in residence at the College of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda and Los Angeles, California). LOCATION OF SEMINARY The Seminary is located at 6830 Laurel Street, Takoma Park, Washington 12, D.C., near the General Conference offices. At the headquarters of the world work of Seventh-day Advent- ists and at the nation's capital, Seminary students have the privilege of association with denominational leaders and the opportunity to keep in close touch with things of national and international inter- est. Extraordinary facilities for research are available in the Library of Congress and in other institutional libraries. Sermons and addresses by men worthy of attention supplement the regular activi- ties of the Seminary. Many other cultural opportunities are open to the students. Takoma Park can be reached from the Union Station in the city by streetcar, bus, or taxi. Students coming from the west may take the Baltimore and Ohio railroad with Silver Spring, Mary- land, as the destination. COST OF ATTENDANCE The charges for attendance at the Seminary for one quarter are as follows: Matriculation and library fee $5.00 Late registration fee 3.00 ^Tuition for each quarter hour of credit 2.00 Laboratory fee for Radio Speaking, Voice and Diction 1.00 Graduation fee 15.00 Room for single students per week 6.00 to 8.00 Board per week (estimate) 7.00 to 15.00 All tuitions and fees are due and payable in advance. * There is no tuition charge to those sent by denominational organizations or institu- tions. To secure this concession, a statement from the sending organization must be presented. 14 TRAVEL SUBSIDY AND ALLOWANCES The General Conference Seminary Student Subsidy Fund provides for certain travel expense and allowances for ministerial workers and for certain teachers in Seventh-day Adventist acad- emies and colleges as outlined by the actions of the General Con- ference Committee. Arrangements for such assistance are made through the conferences and institutions. ROOMING AND BOARDING ARRANGEMENTS The Seminary keeps a list of available rooms and is glad to render such assistance as is possible in locating students. It is well for prospective students to correspond with the Seminary early in regard to accommodations needed. Most of the rooms that can be secured are completely furnished, but there may be cases in which it will be necessary for the student to bring bed linen and towels. The Seminary maintains 26 completely furnished apartments for the use of students who wish to bring their families with them. These apartments are available for not less than one full quarter. Reservations should be made through the president's office as early in advance as possible. COLPORTEUR SUPER-SCHOLARSHIP PLAN FOR SEMINARY STUDENTS By vote of the General Conference Committee the regular policy of the colporteur scholarship discounts is applied to Seminary students. Rent of a furnished room in Takoma Park and vicinity averages the single student $30 a month, or a total of $360 for the 12-month school year. Board in the Review and Herald Cafeteria averages $60 a month, or $720 for the year. Other expenses average $112 for tuition for the school year, $20 for matriculation and library fees, $40 for books, and $10 for laboratory fees, or a total of $1,262 for the four quarters of a seminary year. According to the policy pertaining to resident students, the Publishing House, the Book and Bible House, and the local con- ference each pays its share of the scholarship discount on the basis of the board, room, tuition, books and fees as approved by the 15 Seminary, or a total of $252.40, while the Seminary allows a 10 per cent scholarship discount on the amount of money paid into the school, namely, $18.20. Thus the $252.40 plus the $18.20 or $270.60 represents the total scholarship discount. In other words, the discount taken from the total expense of $1,262 for a 12-month year leaves $991.40, which represents the amount of cash credit the colporteur should have in the Book and Bible House as a result of his minimum of 400 hours of colporteur work. The Book and Bible House sends to the Seminary the $991.40 plus the discounts named above, and the student receives a cash credit of $1,262 on the Seminary books, from which he draws month by month to pay his monthly expenses. Under this plan the student colporteur must deliver a minimum of $1,982.80 worth of literature in order to realize a cash credit of $991.40 in the Book and Bible House. His living expenses while colporteuring are over and above the minimum sales and the necessary cash credit. 16 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS ADMISSION Admission to the Seminary is granted by the Admissions Com- mittee. The prospective student is required to fill out the application form provided by the Seminary. An official transcript of all undergraduate work must be furnished by the student. The ap- plication for admission and the transcript should be in the hands of the Admissions Committee in sufficient time for the granting of admission and for counseling as to entrance requirements. The Seminary admits as students in regular standing men and women who by transcripts give evidence that they have ob- tained a recognized degree from an accredited senior college or have completed equivalent studies. In either case the student must show promise of success in graduate work. All students admitted to regular standing as prospective can- didates for degrees are required to sit for the Graduate Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination during their first quarter in residence. A minimum fee is charged for this test. A student may be admitted provisionally with a deficiency in certain credits, and be permitted to meet such requirements under Seminary supervision while taking graduate work provided that the total does not exceed the recognized class load and that such an arrangement does not extend beyond one quarter at the Seminary. The Seminary accepts as students for special training de- nominational workers of spiritual experience and intellectual ma- turity who are sent or recommended by responsible committees in fields or institutions, provided that they are capable of doing advanced work and will benefit from the training. Such special students are not eligible for candidacy for degrees except as they may remove their deficiencies. Students who enter the Seminary shall subscribe to the follow- ing declaration of purpose: I declare it to be my serious intention to devote my life to the Christian ministry or some other form of church work, and to this 17 end I pledge myself to rely on divine guidance, to live according to the standards and ideals set forth in the Holy Scriptures, to apply myself faithfully and diligently to the instruction of the Seminary, and to abide by all its requirements. REGISTRATION At the time of registration the dean assigns to the entering student a teacher as an adviser to give counsel regarding his pro- gram and work. The student is responsible for becoming acquainted with the requirements as outlined in the bulletin, and is to counsel with his adviser in respect to his work. LATE REGISTRATION One quarter hour is deducted from the normal load for each week the student is late. No student desiring credit is permitted to enter any class more than two weeks after classwork has begun. The student who registers after the published registration date is charged a late registration fee of three dollars; in this case the total fee for matriculation and library is eight dollars. CHANGE IN REGISTRATION A course may be dropped only by means of a drop voucher issued by the registrar's office, and countersigned by the student's adviser and by the instructors concerned. A student's failure to secure such a voucher within a week after discontinuance of a course merits a grade of F. A student remaining in school who discontinues a course after four weeks receives a grade of F. CREDIT EVALUATION Meeting the requirements for one fifty-five minute appoint- ment weekly in regular classwork throughout a quarter entitles the student to one quarter hour of credit. All credit is evaluated in these terms. CLASS LOAD Twelve to fourteen quarter hours of course work for one term of twelve weeks is considered a full load for a student working toward the Master of Arts degree, the Master of Arts in Religion degree, or the Bachelor of Divinity degree. The student who 18 registers in one of the certificate curricula carries the load prescribed in the schedule of that curriculum. Deviation from this program is only by action of the faculty. No student registered in the Seminary may take courses of study or employment outside the Seminary without special per- mission by the faculty. GRADING SYSTEM Grades are recorded in the following terms: A, Superior; B, Good; C, Fair; D, Passing; F, Failure; I, Incomplete; W, With- drawal. A student who is doing acceptable work but has some requirements of a course incomplete at the close of the quarter receives a grade of I in that course. No Incomplete, when made up, merits a grade above C. An Incomplete not removed within a year after the termination of the course becomes a grade of F. AUDITING Courses may be audited subject to the approval of the instructor concerned, but must be entered at the beginning of the term. All class appointments must be met. COLLEGE PREPARATION Students who look forward to service in the ministry are ad- vised to complete the program of the senior college with a major in Bible, Theology, or Religion. Their education should be planned in such a way that they become acquainted with the world in which we live and work today, learn the basic skills with the tools available to well-educated men, understand the fundamental fea- tures of our denominational work, and obtain a thorough training in the Word of God and its principles. Though this cannot be done by merely accumulating credit hours, the following suggests a distribution of college training suit- able for a student who has Seminary training in view: SUBJECTS IN PRE-SEMINARY STUDY Semester Hours Bible and Religion 26-30 Homiletics, Evangelism, and Pastoral Training 10-H 19 \ English 6-12 Composition and Literature Foreign Language 12-16 At least one of the following: Latin Greek Hebrew French German Philosophy 6-12 At least two of the following: Introduction to philosophy History of philosophy Ethics Logic History 6-12 Social Sciences 4-6 At least two of the following: Economics Sociology Government or political science Social psychology Natural Science: Physical and biological 4-6 Education and Psychology 6-15 Students who plan to become Bible teachers in Seventh-day Ad- ventist academies or colleges are required by most states to have at least 15 semester hours of courses in the field of Education. General Psychology 2-3 semester hours (required of all). Music 4 Musicianship and Conducting. Health and Physical Education 2 Electives To meet the major and minor requirements as well as the total hours required for graduation. 20 THE BACHELOR OF DIVINITY DEGREE The Bachelor of Divinity degree is granted on the following conditions: 1. Candidates shall be graduates of accredited senior colleges of recognized standing, or the equivalent. Those from unaccred- ited colleges may be accepted on probation. 2. Candidates shall present evidence of having completed at least 26 semester hours in theology, exclusive of courses in homi- letics and religious history, and 12 semester hours of Greek in their undergraduate work. Students are required to meet the basic seminary language requirement of a total of 12 quarter hours in both Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew. 3. All candidates shall complete satisfactorily 144 quarter hours or their equivalent in an established sequence and distribu- tion. Candidates shall present credits from the departments in the following distribution: Quarter Hours Bible and Systematic Theology 40 Practical Theology 33 Archaeology and History of Antiquity 12 Biblical Languages 12 Church History 31 Research and Bibliography 3 Electives 11 Thesis 2 Total 144 4. The exact time in residence for a student seeking the Bach- elor of Divinity degree is determined by his own needs and inter- ests, but is not less than nine quarters. 5. A student is graduated according to the provisions of the bulletin under which he first enrolled, unless more than two years, or eight quarters, elapse between the periods of his attendance at the Seminary, in which case he will be graduated under the bulletin in force at the close of the elapsed period. 21 6. During the first quarter of his studies each candidate is tested in public reading to determine his individual need of remedial work in speech. 7. In cases of candidates who give evidence of deficient prep- aration in history, literature, and the sciences, or whose oral and written exercises show weaknesses in correct English, the faculty reserves the right to require special study in these areas. 8. Credits from other graduate institutions may be applied toward graduation, but the Committee on Candidacy and Gradu- ation will study each case on its merits. 9. For graduation a candidate must have a mimimum of 288 quality points, based upon the 144 quarter hours required for the degree. Grades are recorded in the following terms: A, 3 grade points for each quarter hour; B, 2 grade points for each quarter hour; C, 1 grade point for each quarter hour; D, no grade points; F, minus 1 grade point for each quarter hour. No grade below C is credited toward graduation. 10. At the end of the fourth quarter of the Bachelor of Di- vinity curriculum each candidate's name and work comes before the faculty for review to determine whether he shall be recom- mended to continue his work. 11. A comprehensive written examination is given under the supervision of the Committee on Candidacy and Graduation before the close of the term in which the candidate completes his course requirements. An oral examination covering the entire field is required. This examination is given by the faculty under the supervision of the president. 12. Candidates for the Bachelor of Divinity degree receive full credit towards that degree for courses credited towards the require- ments of the Master of Arts and Master of Arts in Religion degrees in this Seminary. Curriculum for the Bachelor of Divinity Degree The Seminary course integrates very closely with the minis- terial major in Seventh-day Adventist senior colleges. Graduates may come directly to the Seminary for their graduate work or after spending several years in practical field work. 22 The curriculum of the Seminary, together with the ministerial course in the senior college, is designed to give the minister a well- balanced, comprehensive training for the duties and responsibilities usually connected with his profession. The sequence of studies is as follows: Quarter ' First Quarter Hours 200 Research and Bibliography 3 B232 Studies in the Book of Daniel 4 L Greek or Hebrew 4 P270 Voice and Diction 3 Total 14 Second Quarter B248 Harmony of the Gospels 4 C210 Church and State to A.D. 814 - 4 L Greek or Hebrew 2 P220 Basic Homiletics 4 Total 14 Third Quarter B270 The Doctrine of the Sanctuary 4 C286 The Development of Prophetic Interpretation 4 L Greek or Hebrew 2 P244 Evangelistic Procedures, or P245 Evangelistic Leadership 4 Total - 14 Fourth Quarter A201 Abrahamic Backgrounds and Times 4 B273 Christian Doctrines I 4 C220 Luther and the Reformation in Germany, or C222 Calvin and the Reformation in France 4 P260 Principles of Worship and the Services of the Church 2 Total 14 Fifth Quarter A202 Israelitic Backgrounds and Settings 4 B249 Studies in the Revelation 4 C242 Modern Religious Trends 4 P250 The Work of the Pastor 2 Total 14 23 Sixth Quarter A203 Postexilic and Inter-Testament Period 4 C284 History of the Sabbath and the Sunday 4 P222 Expository Preaching P224 Preaching the Prophecies, or P226 Christ-centered Preaching 2 P210 The Organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church 2 P290 Hymnody, or P291 Evangelistic and Church Music 2 Total : 14 Seventh Quarter B Bible and Systematic Theology Elective 4 C250 Revivalism in America and the Sects 4 L Greek or Hebrew 4 P230 Master Preachers and Preaching 2 Total - 14 Eighth Quarter B Bible and Systematic Theology Elective 4 C282 Significant Chapters in Seventh-day Adventist History 2 C290 The Philosophy, Practice, and Promotion of Christian Missions 3 P219 Religious Advertising 1 P255 Pastoral Counseling 4 Total 14 Ninth Quarter B Bible and Systematic Theology Elective 4 B292 Survey of Religious Philosophy 4 C260 Great Books of Christian Thought 2 P280 Persuasive Speaking 4 Total 14 Tenth and Subsequent Quarters B Bible and Systematic Theology Elective 4 P216 Church Architecture 1 Thesis 2 Electives 11 Total 18 24 THE MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE 1. A student who desires to obtain the Master of Arts degree shall submit to the faculty a written application for admission to candidacy before he begins the work of his second term or its equivalent. His field of concentration shall be stated in his ap- plication. 2. As the student is admitted to candidacy, the head of the department of his field of concentration or another faculty member appointed by the faculty becomes his permanent adviser. 3. If the student's preliminary preparation should be deficient in any study that is fundamental to profitable work in the pro- posed course of study, the faculty may require him to undertake additional work. 4. Credits from other institutions are not applied toward the Master of Arts degree. 5. A student is graduated according to the provisions of the bulletin under which he first enrolled, unless more than two years, or eight academic quarters, elapse between the periods of his at- tendance at the Seminary, in which case he will be graduated under the bulletin in force at the time of his re-entry. 6. The exact time in residence for a student seeking a Master of Arts degree is determined by his own needs and interests, but not less than four quarters is required. 7. Preparation for the degree of Master of Arts includes more than the mere building up of credits in a specified number of re- quired and elective courses. The candidate is required to do satis- factory work in one field of concentration, chosen from the depart- ments of Archaeology and History of Antiquity, Bible and System- atic Theology, Church History, Biblical Languages, or Practical Theology. He is required to supplement this with satisfactory work in such related fields as will strengthen the backgrounds for his field of concentration. The candidate shall also present an acceptable thesis in his field of concentration. He shall at all times work under the supervision of his adviser. 25 Requirements in the fields of concentration are as follows: Archaeology and History of Antiquity: at least 18 quarter hours, with a prerequisite of 26 semester hours of undergraduate work in history including 6 hours of ancient history. Bible and Systematic Theology: 18 quarter hours in the department with a cognate requirement of C265, The Development of Prophetic Interpretation; with a prerequisite of 26 semester hours of undergraduate work in theology, exclusive of courses in homiletics, applied theology, and religious history; a minimum of 12 semester hours in New Testament Greek is recommended. Church History: at least 18 quarter hours, with a prerequisite of under- graduate survey courses in church history, European history, and Imperial Roman history. A reading knowledge of Greek, Latin, French, or German may- be required for research in certain areas of church history. Biblical Languages: concentration is offered in Greek or Biblical Hebrew, or in a combination of both languages. Concentration in Biblical Greek requires at least 18 quarter hours, with a prerequisite of undergraduate work in New Testament Greek of not less than 12 semester hours. Concentration in Biblical Hebrew requires at least 18 quarter hours of Hebrew, with no undergraduate Hebrew prerequisite. The combined concentration requires 22 quarter hours in Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew, with a prerequisite of undergraduate work in New Testament Greek of not less than 12 semester hours. Practical Theology: at least 12 quarter hours in homiletics, speech, and other selected courses in the department, with a prerequisite of 26 semester hours of undergraduate work in applied theology, homiletics, evangelism, and speech. 8. The required minimum of 48 quarter hours of graduate studies is divided as follows: Quarter Hours The field of concentration 18-22 Two related fields * 16 Research and Bibliography 3 Electives in two fields ** 7-3 Thesis 4 Total 48 * Of the two related fields, neither should carry less than 6 quarter hours credit. ** The electives should be distributed over the two remaining fields of Seminary study, except in the case of the 22-hour major concentration in Greek and Hebrew, in which case the 3 quarter hours elective may be taken in one field. 9. During the presentation of his sequence the student must show the ability to use at least one language other than English if his field of concentration demands the use of a second language. 26 10.

Most of the students who attend the Seminary have already had a general education in the Bible on the secondary and college levels. The colleges from which they have come have strong Bible departments, and most of them have a requirement for a major of 30 semester hours in Bible, exclusive of courses in homi- letics. When to this is added the fact that nearly all students also have had experience in religious work at home or abroad, an adequate background is provided for doing advanced work dealing with the deeper aspects of religious thinking. This deeper religious thinking, leading to deeper religious experience, may be said to be the objective of this field of study.

The Staff 44 Departmen of Biblical Languages Roland E. Loasby, Chairman; Mr. Walther The sacred writers wrote as tHey spoke: that all men might read and understand. They have presented us with a message expressed in religious language which is tuneful, vivid, and rich in all the resources of speech. Simple, yet with a wide range of expression that embodies marvelous subtlety and precision in spiritual expression that is beyond the capabilities of most modern languages, the Holy Spirit has placed a medium within our reach that is a wonderful asset to the teacher of the Word. Written, for the most part, to meet the needs of their times, the books of the Bible met those needs by the power of the Holy Spirit. This made them of undeniable worth for all time. These Biblical lan- guages tell the story of the kingdom as no other language can. The purpose of these studies is to help Christian workers to appre- ciate and to use these languages. GENERAL L200 Studies in the Vocabulary of the Bible The devout, accurate study of the Sacred Text is the surest means of obtaining a deep and practical understanding of truth. In the past 300 years English words have changed their meanings; the English Bible at times fails to give the shades of meaning demanded by the original text; synonyms are not always portrayed. The purpose of this course is to make available to the non-Greek student some of the spiritual riches of the original vocabulary, and a more accurate knowledge of Bible words. Spring quarter; 2 quarter hours. BIC, PEC.

Nonetheless, the doctrinal im- portance and instructiveness of the epistle can scarcely be exaggerated. Winter quarter; 4 quarter hours. Loasby L222 (L320) Exegesis of Galatians This epistle is especially addressed to Greek converts, who rallied around Paul as the foremost champion of Gentile freedom in Christ Jesus. The apostle concentrates on two points: the truth of his gospel, with its Christian freedom and warnings against the abuse of freedom, and the reality of his commission from God. Summer quarter (second term) 1950; 2 quarter hours.
