I really enjoyed this class. It was unlike any other class I have taken. I felt that I have learned a lot about the Bible and other topics. Dr Homan made it very interesting and that made it easy to come to class.

By any means necessary. Those are the famous words by revolutionary Malcolm X. These words call for action. This is the attiude that has left the American spirit, I believe, after the death of Martin Luther King. It seems that everyone is in their own world where the only entity that [...]

As I am reflecting on my grade for this semester of theology and the grading criteria, I must be honest; the expectations set in the beginning of this class were definitely high (change the world, read analytical articles averaging over twenty typed pages long, diligently write intelligent, 1,500 word long blog entries for fifteen weeks [...]
