Bible
The Bible major is designed to prepare you to serve as a pastor, evangelist, or Christian worker in an area of service where interpretation and proclamation of the Word of God is a predominant feature. As Dr. Bob Jones, Sr., said many times, we not only teach students how to "load the Gospel gun," but we also teach them how to "shoot it." Here at Bob Jones you will find dedicated Christians who are training for service in a warm, fervent atmosphere. You will learn to distinguish truth from error and the importance of taking a definite stand for the truth.
