CONTRIBUTING SCHOLARS

Because most of our teaching staff are doctors and are making their living as pofessors in major universities, we have them as special speakers during the year and video tape their classes several hours at a time. This way, you are getting the same scholarship, but at a much reduced price. You will also be getting the best of both worlds in that you will be able to meet them personally during the special lectures and receive their teaching in the individual video classes.

Although my personal convictions do not violate original Christian orthodoxy, I believe many scholars with varying doctrinal opinions are able to contribute to specific areas of research. Without permitting any to mold my theology, in this work I have used the findings of Jews, Christians, Trinitarians, non-Trinitarians, Liberals, as well as fundamentalist when it was evident their area of expertise was correct in investigating the truth concerning church history. Although, it would be a gross overstatement to say that everyone with an opinion should be quoted, it would be equally in error to leave out a scholarly review simply because it differs from my own.
