Much content was removed from this article with notes that it was unsourced or that the reference (particularly the Canadian Encyclopedia) did not support the claim. The problem seems to be that the citation to the Canadian Encyclopedia is to an article that is split across several webpages (with only 2 or 3 paragraphs on each page).

The Bible-centered curriculum (the Bible is, in fact, the textbook for many courses)
is augmented by structured programs requiring students to participate regularly in Christian service. [1]
Bible colleges produce a large percentage of North American evangelical missionaries and serve as a primary training center for local church leadership.

Many Bible schools and colleges have a direct denominational affiliation, but many others are interdenominational. Most of these institutions emphasize (or originally emphasized) biblical prophecy from a premillennial and dispensational point of view. Faith groups and denominations that operate or are affiliated with bible colleges include Mennonites, Pentecostalists, Holiness churches, Independent Baptists and other Baptist groups, Churches of Christ, Churches of God, the Missionary Church, and the Christian and Missionary Alliance. [1]
I guess you eviscerated the following paragraph because I did not provide you with separate reference citations for every detail in it. I spent a lot of time compiling (from multiple sources) and synthesizing the information in this paragraph:
The Association for Biblical Higher Education, which accredits many bible colleges, traces the origins of the bible college movement to the late 19th century bible institute movement, when bible education programs were established to provide Biblical study and practical training to prepare people for work in overseas missions and other ministries. [4] Institutions founded in that era included the interdenominational East London Institute for Home and Foreign Missions (later known as Harley House) in England, founded in 1873 by Henry Grattan Guinness; the Missionary Training Institute (now Nyack College) in Nyack, New York, started in 1882 by Rev. A. B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance; Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, founded by evangelist and businessman Dwight L. Moody in 1886; the Boston Missionary Training School (now Gordon College) in 1889; Angas College (no longer in existence) in Adelaide, Australia, founded by Presbyterian minister Rev. W. Lockhart Morton in 1893; the School of the Evangelists (now Johnson Bible College) in Tennessee, founded in 1893 by Ashley S. Johnson; and Toronto Bible Training School (the forerunner of Tyndale University College and Seminary) in Toronto in 1894. [4] [1] [5] [6]
Note, however, that I did reject some details that were provided in one or more of the cited sources, as there were statements about the subsequent history of some schools that did not check out as valid against the schools' own histories. Also, I did list a citation to the entire http://www.spabc.com.au/ website, whereas you probably would prefer to cite http://www.spabc.com.au/history.htm -- orlady 04:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
References mentioned in the above discussion:
I may be an unregistered wikipedian but I feel my concerns are valid. There are great many assumptions made ion the first paragraph of the article. I am not sure the auther is doing enough thorough, non-biased, scholarly reserach. This is also evidenced by the about discussion on the talk page. The main issue for me is the assumptions made about curriculum but no substantiation. I have found 2 Bible Colleges that have a 2-4 course systematic theology curriculum. http://www.cbcag.edu/downloads/catalog.pdf page 91 for example or perhaps http://zbc.edu/documents/academic_catalog.pdf Pages 70-17. I am of the belief that the article posted be accurate and researched done well or be taken down and adjusted. This is, and I subscribe to it, the Jimmy Wales philosophy.
This is important because this article was being used as a reference link that was cited on a specfic bible colleges wikipedia article. That college does actually teach a systematic theology and also has a science course in the academic catalog. -- User:Unregistered 09:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.25.36.62 ( talk)
