WELCOME & INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Calvary Chapel Bible College, Distance Learning. This program has been providing learning opportunities since 1985. It was developed in order to allow students who are unable to attend the main campus or an affiliate campus to obtain the same quality of education and degree as our resident students. The school has grown rapidly, attracting students from all over the United States and the world. Distance Learning is comprised of two mediums of study: the School of Correspondence Education and the School of Online Education.

The School of Correspondence Education is a paper-based program which offers classes through the mail. This may be preferable for students who would prefer a traditional notebook format or does not have reliable internet access necessary for the online program. The student may contact an Academic Supervisor at any time throughout the course for instruction on assignments.

The Prison Education Program makes a Bible college education available to the incarcerated individual. Like the School of Correspondence, Prison Education classes are paper based; however, some policies have been altered to better fit the prison system and aid the student in completing the requirements.

The School of Online Education offers the flexibility of accessing course lectures and materials anywhere in the world where high-speed internet is available. Another added benefit of this program is the increased communication with the student. Course assignments are uploaded as they are completed and are responded to, giving the student a clearer understanding of how they are doing in the course.

The International Student Program (ISP) offers a Bible college education available to students in developing nations and full-time Christian educators or ministry workers born in developing nations. ISP has a special tuition and administrative fee schedule, applies ONLY to the School of Online Education.

Our course list is as up-to-date as possible. If we add classes or make changes, we will do our best to inform you of these changes. If you have questions, contact our office and we would be glad to assist you in any way possible.

OT331 SONG OF SOLOMON/DEANE (1 CR) TEXTBOOK(S) PRICE

King Solomon is something of a puzzle. How could a man blessed with great wisdom from God write a love song about a godly marriage and only years later be involved with 1,000 women? How could the King who wrote 1,000’s of God given proverbs later pursue happiness outside of these very boundaries? And despite all this our Lord Jesus spoke of the wisdom of Solomon without a hint of these failures. Primarily, Song of Solomon will be interpreted literally and appropriately as we see God’s blessing on and advice for marriage. Secondarily, we will look at how Christ is shown typologically in his role as the bridegroom of the church. Students will learn Song of Solomon’s insights on romance, purity, marriage, and God’s love for His bride. Understand when to interpret Scripture literally versus typologically, while never allegorizing.
