Bible School
The term "Bible School" as it is understood today does not appear in the Bible; however, the concept of instruction in God's Word and the importance of teaching and learning within the community of faith is well-established in biblical texts. For instance, in Deuteronomy 6:6-7, God commands Israel to teach His commandments to their children, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to learning about God's law and principles. This foundational aspect of teaching can be seen as a precursor to modern Bible schools, which aim to educate individuals in the Scriptures.Moreover, the New Testament reinforces the importance of teaching and discipleship in passages such as Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commissions His followers to "make disciples of all nations," instructing them to teach the commandments He has given. The early church in Acts 2:42 is described as devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching, indicating a structured form of education within the faith community. Thus, while the specific term "Bible School" isn't found in Scripture, the principles of education and discipleship central to its purpose are deeply rooted in biblical teachings.
