Knowledge of the English Bible

Every student is expected to have a thorough knowledge of the English language Bible. To expect to profit from seminary instruction apart from a thirst for God’s Word is a waste of the time of student and instructor alike. Every prospective minister of the gospel must make the Bible his constant companion. It is assured that no student indifferent to God’s Word will succeed at City Seminary of Sacramento.

While a love for God’s Word and a genuine familiarity with the texts of Scripture are essential, it is also recognized that most students will lack the systematic tools necessary to take full advantage of the course of instruction. To address this common deficiency, introductory survey courses are included in both the New and Old Testament curricula.
