Asia has a plethora of religions and invites a tendency to blend some of the old practices . . . That's why we insist that students be able to discern what is biblical, what is unbiblical; what is truth, what is untruth; and not simply accept everything that is presented to them. (Dr. Nienhuis)
ABTS is teaching thoroughly the words of God to Myanmar people. ('05 Grad)
I appreciate this degree programme for the excellent teaching of our professors, gaining immeasurable value in spiritual knowledge, and saving our time and money since we don't have to go abroad for studies. (Myanmar, '05 Grad)
