BIBLICAL LANGUAGES
We believe that no one should graduate from a Bible college without some appreciation and understanding of the languages God used to give us His word. As the titles below state, these language courses are an introduction to the study of Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew. They will fully acquaint the student with the fundamentals of these important languages. Having completed this course, should the student choose, he or she will be more than prepared to go on to GK 201. This course is required for all programs.

INDEPENDENT STUDY
TH 490 Independent Study in Theology (3-5 Credit Hours)
TH 690 Independent Study in Theology (Graduate Students)
Instructor: Faculty
Course Content: This course allows the student to do independent research in some area of Theology of his or her choosing under the supervision of the professor. The course essentially consists of the student choosing a theological topic, subject, doctrine, etc. (approved by the professor), the reading and study of assigned books and other materials, and the writing of a formal research paper according to the guidelines of the college. For example, the student could choose to do an in-depth research paper on the Doctrine of the Church, the Deity of Christ, or the Trinity. Apart from the knowledge one gains from doing this kind of research, one of the greatest benefits of this format is the direct personal access to the professional writing guidance of the teacher. All research papers are required to be written and formatted according to the guidelines of A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8th Ed., by Kate L. Turabian.
Prerequisite: Undergraduates: Junior standing. Completed TH 201, 202, 203 and ENG 101 taken at John Leland; Graduate Students: ENG 101 or HIS 501 taken at JLBC and permission of the instructor.
Note: While the normal length of a quarter is ten weeks with the final exam on the eleventh week, students taking this class may take up to fifteen weeks to complete the course.
Note: The student can take this course for 3-5 credit hours. The difference in the credit hours is proportionate to the length and depth of the research paper.
Registration: To register simply contact the school via email or phone.
Registration Deadline: It is best to register a week early.
READINGS
All books are read under the supervision of a Reading Mentor; Mentors consist mostly of faculty members and upper-level graduate students. Upon registering for a Summary and Review course, the student will be given instructions on how to proceed. The student may be evaluated in any number of different ways. The student may be required to write a Summary or Review; in some cases, the Mentor may draw up some brief questions for each chapter to be answered by the student or be asked to take some brief notes of the most important matters while reading the book and to submit them on a weekly basis to the Mentor. And in other cases, the Mentor may wish to simply hold regular discussions with the student about the book as he or she reads it. At any rate, it will be left up to the Mentor on how best to evaluate whether the student has completed the readings faithfully.

READINGS AND REFLECTIONS
Introduction: At John Leland College we believe that nothing is more important than the careful and meditative reading of God’s word. Every student is required to carefully and completely read the Bible in its entirety. This series of Readings and Reflections is a graduation requirement for all programs at Leland. You will have other Bible reading assignments in classes throughout your studies at Leland, but this series of Readings and Reflections will assure us that you have at least one time carefully read and contemplated the entire Word of God. This requirement must be completed by the end of your sophomore year in order to continue your studies at Leland.
Procedure: The student is free to complete this reading in any order he or she chooses, but it is generally more profitable to complete these readings when taking the corresponding “Survey” courses.
