Course Description

Bible Research is the second course in a three course series designed to help students develop the skills necessary to uncover biblical truths on their own.

It is an advanced course that focuses on the tools and methods for studying the Bible. It includes some of the basic principles of interpreting Scripture and is a prerequisite to the Hermeneutics course.

Instructor

Lanny Hubbard, Professor of Theology

Lanny was born and raised in the Portland area. After three years serving in the armed forces, he attended PBC and completed his Bachelor degree. He has functioned on staff at the college since 1978 and has become a respected Teacher, Pastor and Elder at Mannahouse. In 2006, he graduated from Western Seminary with an MA in exegetical theology. He is known for having both wide and deep knowledge of the Bible and if anyone is considered an “expert” on the Bible, Lanny would fit the bill. He has worked with his wife Joanne in developing new courses for the online program. They have raised three children who are all graduates from PBC and are actively involved in ministry. Lanny Hubbard’s deep understanding of the scriptures will open your eyes to how the Bible is relevant today.
