Comments
Olivet University has a double purpose. It seeks to minister pure Christianity in connection with genuine scholarship. The Bible is the supreme textbook, for which all connected with the institution must show respect, and which all must have in regular study, that they may become wise unto salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ, and may know how to rightly divide the Word of Truth, and may become Christian workers who need not be ashamed.
All other books for our study must be in their teaching loyal to the textbook of Christianity. But this does not mean that we have a Bible School only, in any narrow sense. Other textbooks used are the equal of those in any University, and the scholarship we require is the equivalent of what is honored in other schools. Our aim is to have an institution of strong scholastic standing under the best Christian influence, where faith in the Bible and its God and Savior will not be endangered, but will be deepened and strengthened, where the young may be morally and religiously safe while securing the best intellectual culture.
