OLD BRIDGE, N.J., March 22, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Biblical illiteracy abounds all throughout the world today. In order to combat this illiteracy, people must be educated and firmly rooted in their faith in Jesus and in the inerrancy and infallibility of Scriptures. Veritas Evangelical Seminary places a high priority on the Bible and on having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Calvary Chapel Old Bridge is joining forces with Veritas to educate Christians in the New Jersey area. CCOB will now be an extension-teaching site for Veritas! The Seminary and the Church welcome any Christians who desire a graduate school education, to apply to Veritas and register for the courses that will be hosted at CCOB in Old Bridge, NJ.

Several times out of the year, Veritas Evangelical Seminary teachers will fly out to instruct a weeklong seminary class in NJ. The list of teachers that are going to travel to teach are quite impressive: Dr. Norman Geisler, Dr. Thomas Ice, Dr. Steven Collins, Dr. Gary Habermas, and Dr. Ergun Caner, to name a few.

Prospective students hoping to gain credits for these classes are encouraged to register for either the graduate degree program or the certificate program.
