Abstract

This project asks what objectives Manna Bible Institute should develop so that its ministry of biblical education might achieve the maximum relevance for its students and graduates. Manna Bible Institute is an interracial and multi-ethnic school in the inner city of Philadelphia. The first chapter introduces the concepts of biblical education and urban ministry. The second chapter identifies the biblical and historical rationale for the school's ministry by tracing the tradition of biblical instruction from ancient Israel to contemporary evangelicalism. Chapter three provides the theological and social framework for the project by identifying biblical concepts that support responsive urban ministry. Chapter four traces the development of the school from the dual influences of Bible education and evangelical social concern. Chapters five to seven discuss a survey which evaluates the school's responsiveness to the needs and interests of its students and graduates. Chapter eight suggests student-related and institutional objectives that address issues which confront inner city residents.
