INTRODUCTORY

The aim of the Department of Systematic Theology is to set forth and to vindicate both the content of the knowledge which accrues to Christian faith and those moral relations which are a necessary expression of that faith. This task is prosecuted on the basis of the historical sources of the Christian religion and with due consideration of the historic expressions of Christian belief. It will thus appear that the historical sciences of biblical theology and of biblical ethics as well as of the history of dogma are the indispensable presuppositions of the normative sciences of Christian dogmatics and of Christian ethics. The instruction in the Department has both a scientific and a religious end; the former, to promote the understanding of theological problems, the latter, to train ministers for efficient service in the church.

The Theological Club holds meetings for the presentation and discussion of papers every third Monday.

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES

1. As prerequisite to acceptance as a candidate for a degree, seventeen majors of theological study must have been completed, three of which shall have been in the Department of Systematic Theology.

2. The three required courses in Systematic Theology are to be chosen from 1 (Content of the Gospel, I), 2 (Content of the Gospel, II), 7 (Introduction to

Systematic Theology), 8 (Christian Ethics). These courses are so arranged as to give the student a consecutive training in Christian doctrine.

3. In addition to the general regulations for the degree of Ph.D. the candidate must meet the following prerequisites: (a) A general knowledge of the History of Philosophy; (b) course 5 in the Department of Comparative Religion, or i'a equivalent.

The degree will be granted only to those who in addition have taken such courses as may be prescribed by the Department of Systematic Theology. The precise number of majors cannot be stated in advance. The degree is granted only to those who give evidence of high scholarly attainments and ability to conduct independent theological research.

INTRODUCTORY

1. Scope and method of the study. It is neither possible nor desirable to master the minor details of so vast a subject as the History of the Church. A treatment which studiously refrains from burdening the mind with unnecessary matters leaves time to inform the student on those salient features of the history which are of living and permanent interest and value. Dead issues and exploded theories are passed over lightly. Each event is studied in both its chronological and its causal connections. Lectures, recitations, discussions, special investigations, essays, daily reviews, and written and oral examinations are the modes of imparting instruction. For advanced courses and special research work the seminar method is employed.

2. Requirements for degrees.-(a) The candidate is subject to the general regulations of the Divinity School respecting degrees.

(b) Before being accepted as a candidate for any degree, the student must have completed twelve majors of theological study, three of which must have been taken in Church History. Courses 1, 3, and 4, or 18, are prescribed.

(c) The general requirements for the Bachelor's, the Master's, and the Doctor's degree in Church History are stated above.

(d) For the Master's degree, with Church History as the principal subject, and for the Doctor's degree with Church History as the secondary subject, the candidate must be familiar with the leading events in the entire history of the church, and his special study must lie in one field of historical inquiry.
