Dr. Timothy Cargal, offers and Introduction specifically to the Bible Content Exam. He describes the exams unique characteristics and offers ideas for preparation to take the BCE.
  • In Pt. 3, Rev. Dr. Timothy Cargal explains how the Bible Content Exam achieves the purpose of assessing the inquirer or candidate's knowledge of the form and content of the Bible and the distribution of the 100 questions on the exam.
  • In Pt. 4, Rev. Dr. Timothy Cargal offers a plan for preparing for the BCE including resources upon which to focus in your preparation.
