1. GENERAL REGULATIONS.

1. The subjects of Examination in the Honour School of Theology are :—

(1) The Holy Scriptures.

(2) Dogmatic and Symbolic Theology.

(3) Ecclesiastical History and the Fathers.

(4) The Evidences of Religion.

(5) Liturgies.

(6) Sacred Criticism, and the Archæology of the Old and New Testaments.

Of these subjects, (1) The Holy Scriptures, within the limits assigned by the Board, is obligatory on all Candidates. Those who aim at a First Class are required to offer subjects (1) and (2), the Exegesis of the New Testament, and at least two of

the other subjects. Those who do not aim at a First Class are required to offer subject (1), and either (2), or (3), or (4), or (5), or the Hebrew language.

2. The Books of the New Testament must be studied in the Greek text. The History of the Church and of the Liturgies must likewise be studied with reference to original authorities. Elementary knowledge of the Hebrew language has some weight, advanced knowledge has great weight, in the distribution of Honours. Candidates are permitted to offer portions of the Septuagint Version, including the Apocryphal Books of the Old Testament.

3. No Candidate can be examined in this School who has not exhibited to the Examiners a certificate of having passed in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion, i. e. in the Books of the Old and New Testaments (the Gospels and the Acts of Apostles being studied in the original Greek), with (1) either the Thirtynine Articles, or (2) a special Book of the Old or New Testament or a period of Ecclesiastical History (see p. 149).

4. The attention of Candidates is called to the absolute necessity of an accurate knowledge of the text of the Bible, as distinct from the various Commentaries and other works which are intended to promote its study.

Papers of questions will be given on those books of the Bible only which are specified for examination in the current year, with the exception of such questions on the Epistles of St. Paul as may be necessary to satisfy the language of the Statute. But it is not hereby intended to dispense with such a general knowledge of the Bible as may be shown incidentally in any papers of the Examination or in viva voce, and the Examiners would feel themselves bound to refuse high honours to any Candidate who should betray serious ignorance of the contents of the Bible.

2. REGULATIONS OF THE BOARD OF THE FACULTY OF
THEOLOGY.

The following is the list of books and subjects from which choice must be made by Candidates in the years 1885, 1886, 1887, and 18881.
