Princeton, Yale and Inductive Bible Study
December 16th, 2006 by Ron
It is amazing to me how few Inductive Bible Study courses there are in seminaries, Christian colleges and universities. I remember Dr. J. Christy Wilson Jr. tell us at Gordon-Conwell in the mid 1970’s that we should master the English Bible. Interestingly, his father Dr. J. Christy Wilson said the same thing a generation earlier at Princeton Seminary. Wilbur Whyte started the formal Inductive method of Bible study because he saw the same thing at Yale University Seminary four generations ago. Students, studying for the ministry, did not know the English text of Scripture. They knew Greek, Hebrew, Church history and Theology but not the contents of the English Bible.
