Semester Expectations:
All students will be expected to learn the books of the Old Testament in order, spelled correctly.
Daily reading assignments and periodic pop quizzes can be expected. All lectures will anticipate student participation.
Our course strategy is to read the Bible text itself instead of spending a lot of time reading other writings about the Bible.
Note taking is an integral part of this course, so be prepared each day with appropriate materials.
If a student misses a test or daily assignment, make-up work is required and will be due within the week following the absence.
Since some members of our class will be studying the Bible seriously for the first time, we must begin with the basics of Bible study. In the early days of the class we will deal with questions such as:
Where did the Bible text come from originally, and how did it get to us in English?
How is the Bible divided, and what can we expect in its various sections?
What notation do Bible students usually use to identify specific texts and versions?
