From Amazon.com: "Christians should evaluate philosophy by biblical criteria. This will shed greater light on the developments in the history of philosophy and better prepare us for the intellectual challenges of our time. The fall of Adam brought intellectual as well as moral corruption on the human race, and the effects of the fall can be seen in the work of philosophers, most of whom try to understand the world autonomously through reasoning apart from God's revelation. Some philosophers have appealed to God's revelation, but their work has often been compromised with the wisdom of the world. Revelation should inform reason, and not the other way round. In the past, even Christian theology was corrupted by the movement toward intellectual autonomy, creating the tradition of liberalism, which has unhappily dominated academic theology down to the present day. But there is hope a new generation of Christian thinkers take God's Word seriously. Frame's unique new contribution augments that process."

Introduction to Cincinnati Bible Seminary
Founded in 1924, Cincinnati Bible Seminary actually predates Cincinnati Christian University by over 70 years, though it was known collectively as Cincinnati Bible College and Seminary for many years. Today, CBS is one of six colleges under the auspices of CCU. Focused on an education that is grounded in the Word of God with an eye towards missional service, CBS is a school rooted in the Restoration Movement though open to students of various Christian backgrounds.
Academic Life
The seminary offers two graduate-level degrees - the MAR, with concentrations in Leadership Studies (specializations available in Pastoral Leadership, Pastoral Care & Counseling, Educational & Family Ministries, Church Growth & Church Planting, Urban & Intercultural Ministry), Church History, Theological Studies, and Biblical Studies. The MDiv is available with concentrations in Practical Ministries (specializations available in Pastoral Leadership, Pastoral Care and Counseling, Educational and Family Ministries, Church Growth and Church Planting, and Urban and Intercultural Ministry), Church History, Theology, or Biblical Studies.
Student Life
As students of Cincinnati Christian University, CBS students have access to the same facilities and services as all CCU students. Seminary students may access the George Mark Elliott Library, with a dedicated Graduate Reference Room, enjoy a wide array of dining options at the Student Union, or receive free counseling services at the CCU Counseling Center. Students also have numerous opportunities to engage in on-campus ministry through the Campus Ministry office.
The seminary also offers numerous "student forums" where students may meet outside of the classroom with professors and fellow students who share similar interests. Forums include Pastoral Leadership, the American Association of Christian Counselors, Biblical Studies, and Theological Studies. CBS students may also participate in CCU activities such as intramurals and Missions Emphasis Week and have access to facilities such as the Weight and Fitness Center and Student Center.
Students at CBS are fortunate to have access to a city that Winston Churchill called "the most beautiful inland city in America." There are a number of events and activities to appeal to a student's diverse interests. Students with interests in sports can catch a Bengals or Reds game. If it's the arts you love, then the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, or Contemporary Arts Center are close by. Students and their families may enjoy a day at Kings Island or the Newport Aquarium. In sum, there's no shortage of activities to be found in the great city of Cincinnati.
Housing
Although on-campus housing is not currently available for seminary students, the seminary does assist students in relocating to the Cincinnati area.
Financial Aid
In addition to Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, there are several generous scholarship programs available to CBS students, including several full tuition and partial tuition scholarships, including the MDiv Heritage Scholarship, MAR Heritage Scholarship, and MAR Church History Scholarship. Full tuition Leadership Scholarships are also available. Furthermore, international students may receive a Graduate International
Grant up to the cost of full tuition.
