Systematic Theology. Systematic Theology is the systematic exposition of the teaching of the Bible concerning God and man and their relation to each other. It naturally divides itself into three main branches: namely, Theology, or the Christian doctrine concerning God, Anthropology, or the Christian doctrine concerning man, and Soteriology, or the Christian doctrine concerning the restoration and maintenance of the true communion between God and man. To this part of a theological course also belongs the study of Ethics. Practical Theology.* I. Homilctics. This course includes first a survey of the History of Preaching, showing the character of the first Christian witness-bearing and the development of the characteristic principles of this preaching as an art: its alliance with pagan rhetoric and oratory; the consequences of this alli- ance upon the form and material of preaching, and the efforts made to find a form of its own in more complete harmony with the \Vord of God. Secondly the course involves a systematic study of the essentials of preaching as testifying of Christ, properly designated as Homiletics. It is constantly borne in mind that the power of preach- ing does not lie in human art but in divine authority of ‘ The work in this branch has been divided among the members of the Theological Faculty.

Hence, while there must be intense study of the text and much practice in the art of presenting truth, the essential homiletic preparation consists in ridding minds of worldly notions as to preach- ing and self-confidence in order that Word and Spirit may have full sway. Further the course consists in the study of the pericopes; analytical reading of representa— tive sermons; written outlines of sermons and religious addresses, and weekly sermons in class. 2. C atechetics. Catechetics as a branch of Practical Theology attempts to teach the proper methods of instructing the young in the church, especially in the Christian religion. It looks upon the educational work entrusted to every congrega- tion as fundamentally necessary and requiring careful training of teachers and patient and systematic execution. A good pastor should not only himself be able “to feed the lambs” but should also know how to teach others the same art. The course involves, first a survey of the history of Christian education; secondly, a description of the theories and methods of such education as they prevail in the church today; thirdly, the practical applica- tion of principles and methods to our educational need, so that the material of instruction may be suited as much as possible to the growing heart and mind of the child. This again involves a knowledge of the systematic use of the Bible for instruction as well as of the other books used in catechetical instruction. 3. Church Polity.

Pastoral Theology. This course comprises the study of the foundation of the pastoral offices and the New Testament ministry; the call; the minister’s personal consecration and renewal of his call; the nature of his preparation; his relation to his people; his leadership in the congregation in all mat— ters pertaining to worship, instruction, the edification of the congregation, and to its organized activities; the min- isterial acts, and finally the minister’s care of souls. This course will be supplemented by lectures of pastors in active service. 5. Paul's Epistles to the Corinthians. These epistles are taken up in connection with Church Polity as offering the best documentary source of early church organization. Theological Propaedeutics. This course aims to show the purpose, structure, and growth of the various branches of Theology, and to fur- nish the student with a working bibliography including the most recent theological publications in Scandinavia, Germany, England, and America.

The aim of the course offered is to familiarize the student with the etymology and syntax of the Hebrew language in order that he may intelligently follow the critical exegesis of the commentators. Two courses are offered, an elementary course for the Juniors and an advanced course for the Middlers. New Testament Creek. The Greek of the New Testament is studied on the basis of the classical Greek. The purpose is to show that is does differ from the classical and that it is the language as it was spoken by the people of Palestine in the time of Christ. No student of the New Testament ought to rest satisfied until he can read his Testament in the lan- guage in which it was written. History of the New Testament Manuscripts. The aim of this course is to familiarize the student with the history of the printed Greek text since 1514; to impart to him information about the leading New Testament manuscripts; and to discuss the historical method employed in textual inquiry.

Judges are expected to be familiar with the subject only if in the higher court: their calling demands it. As a rule the theme is too remote from the interest of law students and lawyers to appeal to them. The minds of other students and profes- sional men are mostly a blank on the subject. There are exceptions; but generally our institutions of learning do not even excite an interest in internationalism. This gives to the few professors and specialists almost a monopoly of the whole field. Hence the most selfish state policy finds enthusiastic support at the ballot-box, on the platform, in the pulpit, in the press, and in political life, while the plea for international justice, to do unto others as we would be done by, strikes deaf ears.” Two times a week.
