1 Biblical Studies The Harding School of Biblical Studies offers an intense program for men to be trained as ministers and scholars of the Bible. More than 20 years ago, Harding began its School of Biblica l Studies, initially ca lled the Chri s tian Communica tion Program. Established to train s tudents 2 I years old or older to be pulpit ministers, the program was an intense two-year curriculum. Through the years, many who comple ted the program decided to continue the ir education at Harding University to earn a bache lor's degree. Some even continued through th master's degree. With the initiation of the Marriage and Family counse ling program last year, some chose to enroll in that new curriculum. or. Bill Lambert , director, described the H.S.B.S. program as "very accelerated." "Our work is accepted as c redi t toward a B.A.," he said. Since the program's inception , students have been required to attend c lass year-round and to comple te I 20 hours of Bible. The eight-week semester inc ludes c lasses which meet four days a week for extra long periods. Many of the students have preached regularly at nearby congregations as a part of the ir H .S.B.S. training. Students chose this particular program for many reasons. I • • ,~),, Som liked how the Bible was taught in H.S.B.S. Mike Hesterman said he believed the school taught how to study the Bible and "didn't give just the ir opinions ." Glen Green said he chose H .S.B.S. b ecause he wanted to learn more about the Bible and go into the world to teach many individuals who were confused about the Bible. Others chose H.S.B .S. because of the quality of a Harding education. Ke ith Avery said he wanted to receive his education here because he knew that he could continue on at the university level to receive his bachelor's degree. Hesterman said the program was w ell rounded "because it not only taught the students how to study the Bible, but also how to preach it ." Many men have moved their families to Searcy so they could attend H .S.B.S. Whether they have gone straight into mission work, pulpit ministries or other specialized ministries or continued their educational pursuits, they left the program with indepth knowledge of Scripture and a greater ability to share the word of God. ;~ - Christie Mangrum Steue Mahone!J - A~hlJu rv .
