Birmingham School Of The Bible
Records, 1933-1942
Background:
Edgar J. Rowe and a group of Birmingham clergymen
established Birmingham
School of the Bible, an interdenominational fundamentalist institution, in 1934.
Originally the school offered classes two nights per week. In 1943 the name was
changed
to Southeastern Bible School and the institution offered a three-year college
level
program. After the school developed into a four-year institution the name was
changed to
Southeastern Bible College in 1952. At that time the campus was located on
Birmingham's Southside. Southeastern Bible College is now located in the
Birmingham
suburb of Mountain Brook.
