Bob Jones University

===Religious education===

====School of Religion====
The School of Religion includes majors for both men and women, although only men train as ministerial students.<ref>[http://www.bju.edu/academics/college-and-schools/religion/ BJU School of Religion].</ref> Many of these students go on to a [[seminary]] after completing their undergraduate education. Others take ministry positions straight from college, and rising juniors participate in a church internship program to prepare them for pastoral ministry. In 1995, 1,290 BJU graduates were serving as senior or associate pastors in churches across the United States.<ref>{{cite book|author=Dalhouse, Mark Taylor|title=An Island in the Lake of Fire: Bob Jones University, Fundamentalism & the Separatist Movement|pages=148–151}}</ref> In 2017 more than 100 pastors in the [[Upstate South Carolina|Upstate]] alone were BJU graduates.<ref>''Greenville Journal'', April 14, 2017, 16</ref>

====Position on the King James Version of the Bible====
The university uses the [[King James Version]] (KJV) of the Bible in its services and classrooms, but it does not hold the KJV to be the only acceptable English translation or that it has the same authority as the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.<ref name="turner244">{{cite book|last=Turner|first=Daniel|title=Standing Without Apology: The History of Bob Jones University|pages=244–245}} [http://www.bju.edu/communities/ministries-schools/position-statements/translation.php "Statement about Bible Translations", BJU website]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020142718/http://www.bju.edu/communities/ministries-schools/position-statements/translation.php |date=October 20, 2012 }}</ref> The [[King-James-Only Movement]]—or more correctly, movements, since it has many variations—became a divisive force in fundamentalism as conservative, modern Bible translations, such as the [[New American Standard Bible]] (NASB) and the [[New International Version]] (NIV), began to appear in the 1970s. BJU has taken the position that orthodox Christians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (including fundamentalists) agreed that while the KJV was a substantially accurate translation, only the original manuscripts of the Bible written in Hebrew and Greek were infallible and inerrant.<ref>{{cite book|last=Turner|first=Daniel|title=Standing Without Apology: The History of Bob Jones University|pages=244–245}}</ref> Bob Jones Jr. called the KJV-only position a "[[heresy]]" and "in a very definite sense, a [[blasphemy]]".<ref>{{cite book|author=Jones Jr., Bob|title=Cornbread and Caviar|page=179}}</ref>
