Taking a theology class at Xavier University was a great learning experience. I was very pleased to have the oppourtinity to take such a class which gave me a better insight about life and the bible that we have everyday and might ignore because of our ignorance, unfortuantely. This class, indeed, helped to  understand more [...]

1.    I think that this course does give students a better understanding of what a Bible scholar does. I will not lie I had my stereotypes about what a biblical scholar was like. I thought that they would be boring and kind of dull but Dr. Homan is not like that at all. He is [...]

Its the final blog of the semester and I cannot be happier. So here goes nothing for the final blog entry:
1. Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies.

I grew up in middle class Catholic Baton Rouge all my life [...]

OMG!!! The last blog has finally arrived!!! Now let us discuss course goals and how well they were relayed this semester. Honestly I have learned a lot about biblical studies and how much it takes it to be a biblical scholar. I think that overall my class somewhat struggled with this part of the course [...]

     In this blog I am going to write a reflective blog, in which I am going to evaluate the course goals that I feel I have achieved. The course goals are: give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies, provide the tools to read the Bible in an academic and [...]

It is hard to believe that after all my hard word, diligence, and faithful to writing these blogs each week has come to an abrupt end. I’ve written so much throughout this semester and achieved so much it feels good to know that this is my last one. I wouldn’t consider myself as someone who [...]

Evaluating this course goal:
1. Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies. When I registered for this class I did not know anything about the bible and the stories written in the bible. honestly the only story I knew was about noah’s ark and the adam and eve story. [...]

For this blog, I am required to write a reflective blog seriously evaluating the course goals which I think were all achieved.
1.       Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies.
I feel that this goal was achieved because although the pace of each class meeting was extremely fast, we were presented with [...]

Provide the tools to read the Bible in an academic and critical manner:
The tools that are need to read the bible in my opinion is each individual’s free will of beliefs and ability to distinguish the difference between lies and the truth. Upon coming into this class I felt that it would be a total [...]

1. I feel that this course does give the students the level of expertise in the discipline of biblical  studies. The students are presented with new material that gets them thinking. The students are exposed to the history of how others think and how they put the their knowledge of the present to work. This [...]

Week 15:

A reflective blog evaluating the following:

1. Give students a level of expertise in the disciple of biblical studies.
The blogs incorporated a vast amount of information about the bible. The questions ranged from bible topics such as God’s house to when we feel that the world will end. In order to correctly and [...]

So this is my final theology blog which means that it is the end of the semester and I am very happy about that. Before taking this class, I thought it would be a breeze. I thought I knew a whole lot more about the bible than I actually do. I found out very soon [...]

Evaluation of course goals are as followed:
1. Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies. 
Before enrolling into this course, my knowledge of stories in the Bible was less than 20%. Yes, of course I knew about the story of creation in the Book of Genesis, but I didn’t know how [...]

The Bible is not merely a story of Jesus and his religion.  It is a collection of stories about Jesus’s chosen people and they obstacles they faced in order to worship god. The bible is a doctrine that tells us give us rules on how to live our lives, so that we may gain the [...]

Evaluation of the course goals:
·         Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies. 
Before entering this class, I had a very basic knowledge of the Bible and biblical stories. As my sister would say, I was nothing but a Sunday school Christian. I knew the basic stories and parables in the [...]

1) Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies.
To be completely honest, I had no prior knowledge on what was actually inside the Bible. I knew that it was the word of the lord and stories on how things came to be, but I am a Catholic that never read [...]

Wow.. My last blog and reflections. Now that I look back on it I don’t regret taking this class. If our core curriculum did not require us to take this theology class I would not have learned all these new interesting things that I know now. I usually run away from things when I find [...]
