d) Departmental Resources

The Department of Bible and Theology has some excellent resources in addition to the quality of our faculty. Now that consolidation has occurred (Fall 2013), our students have access to library resources of the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary; this access is a considerable benefit given the seminary’s holdings. In addition, with consolidation, the library of Central Bible College is now incorporated into the larger EU library system. The university provides up-to-date internet tools and a great Learning Management System, Canvas. The IT department consistently responds quickly to requests for assistance and service.

Advisory Committee Recommendations and Actions

Advisory Committee Action Taken Recommendation Add female faculty members Start by using female adjuncts since the department is downsizing and not hiring new, full-time faculty at this time. Offer “Women in Ministry” course A Women in Ministry course offered for graduate students (by Dr. again Gill) will be cross-listed with an undergraduate syllabus in Fall 2016 Give more attention to faculty Plan: Work in concert with Provost and Faculty Development development: individualized faculty Committee. development plan, sabbatical offerings, etc. Offer courses on Religion in America, HUMN 240 may address this concern. Note, however, that EU The Bible in America, or Religion and offers this course through the Department of Humanities. “This Human Culture. Such offerings would interdisciplinary course asks, "How do we live individually and fit with the liberal arts emphasis of corporately?" by looking at how the church influences and is Evangel. influenced by the broader culture through an integrated study of the fine arts, history, literature and theology. Particular emphasis is given to the rise of Christian culture in The Middle Ages, the impact of development of Islam, and challenges facing the believer in contemporary culture as encountered in the arts.”

13

Evaluate marketing perspective Plan: Add testimonials from successful students who have used their EU degree and done well (e.g., Dr. Brian Doak); provide list of possible jobs available for our majors; give attention to recruiting female majors; work with Dr. Michael Kolstad, VP for University Advancement

IV. ASSESSMENT DATA

To date, we have not found a suitable nationally normed assessment for the Evangel Biblical Studies major, or for the Philosophy major.

The Biblical Studies program assessment the areas of Biblical interpretation, Biblical language, Theological concepts, church history, and Philosophy. In the spring of 2016, an assessment of Biblical interpretation was done using the instrument of the Exegesis Paper for BIBL 337

To evaluate Biblical interpretation, we look to four aspects of the paper that reflect the content of the assessment rubric B1. Those areas are:

A. Facility with Greek or Hebrew a. Demonstrates competence by providing an accurate translation; able to defend translation decisions when compared to alternate, possible translations B. Contextual Analysis: historical, cultural, and social: a. Integrates contextual knowledge; provides a contextually informed interpretation of the passage C. Contextual Analysis: Literary a. Integrates literary context into a contextually informed interpretation that situates the passage in relationship to surrounding material and the biblical book while tracing the author’s flow of thought D. Theological Application a. Describes how this theological principle relates to the contemporary context and demonstrates how one can apply this principle to a specific situation

The findings of this assessment are in section VII

CURRENT PROJECTS

Presently involved with Dr. Richard Cleave in the ongoing development of computer, video, and printed materials for teaching the geography of the Bible. The project involves digitization and merger of satellite, aerial, and ground zero photography reproduced in hardcopy and digital format. The result is true color, high-resolution "virtual reality."

Having implemented the classroom dynamics of the Ulpan (Hebrew classes used in the teaching of new immigrants to Israel) along with those borrowed from Professor Isaac Yerushalmi (Hebrew Union College) and many pedagogical techniques developed to simplify acquisition of Hebrew by college-level students, a first-year grammar is being prepared. The intent is to rethink, revolutionize, and revitalize the way Hebrew is presented to college and seminary students. The grammar will include ideas for easy learning for the student and a pedagogical track for the instructor. The first stage of the project, color coded charts for easier mastery of the verb system, has already been completed. This system has been tested in the classroom for 11 years, and is currently ready to be marketed.

Since August 2003, I have been involved in a project called “Preserving Bible Times.” The purpose of this project is to disseminate materials which will aid in contextualizing the Scriptures. This includes written material, video footage, and still photography.

Goal 1: Competence in logical reasoning. (Deductive Logic and Critical Thinking) Goal 2: Competence in philosophical writing. (In every non-logic philosophy course) Goal 3: Familiarity with arguments and issues in epistemology.
