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 [...]

Last Blog!!! Yay!! I have written so much over this semester and it feels good to be finally written my last one. It kind of sucks though because I am writing it the night before my final and I am about to fall straight asleep on top of my keyboard. These blogs have been so [...]

Finally, the last blog. I bet a lot of students feel very relieved after completing this last blog and couldn’t wait for this day to come. After completing so many blog entries and much of the course, with only final exam left to complete, the are many things that one can reflect on. One of [...]

Yay! Finally my last blog of the semester. And I am getting tired, trying to catch up with my blog the night of the finals and trying to study at the same time. I need to learn how to stop waiting for the last minute trying to finish everything up. Maybe my grades would have [...]

Wow, I can’t believe that I have finally reached the end of the Bible Blogging Road!! It was definitely long, tumultuous and difficult at times but I prevailed nonetheless! And hopefully I did so with an A in the class! In all of my years of schooling, I have never had an intensive writing requirement [...]

My favorite time in the class was the learning it self. I learned about things I had a passion for and gaining a passion for things I had never known. I got could have numerous conversations with people about the Bible, I could even bring up that fact that there is no such thing as [...]

This is the last blog and I am so happy. I thought that I would never see the day when I write the last blog entry for the class. However it helped me with my writing as well as typing skills. Meanwhile this class was an experience for me to learn more about the bible [...]

Wow this is my last blog and boy am I happy to get this one over with. Intro to biblical studies has been a very interesting course. I have never had a teacher like professor Homan nor have I been in a class like his class. I believe this course force you to very discipline [...]

It’s my last Blog, and I really don’t know how I feel about this I have learned so much in the last couple of months. I have been through two hurricanes in one year; one that has thrown a whole week of school off and playing catch up was a horrible experience. The other hurricane [...]

I would like to start this blog off by saying that this class was very interesting and I can see why we need to take this course. I would also like to thank everyone who wrote comments on my blog entry. All of your feedback was greatly appreciated and I hope that everyone had as [...]

Theology is a course that makes a person step outside of the box. It is hard to step away from a familiar way of thinking to something more complex and abstract. In fact I would say seventy five of the things you read in this course are abstract. This course can cause you to see [...]

1. We did learn the focus of biblical studies, which includes the religious study of the bible and biblical texts. There happens to be many branches of biblical studies that we learned about as well. Biblical studies possess aspects of history, archaeology, philosophy and additional social sciences that all intertwine. We must be able to [...]

In taking this course, students have an increased level of expertise by the mere fact that they have never been exposed to the discipline of biblical studies. Understanding different forms of biblical criticism allows students an interesting view into understanding the complexities of biblical scholarship. Even exploring the archaeological side of biblical scholarship, I [...]

WOW! I didn’t think this day would EVER come I’m so tired of these Blogs (No offense)! But woah this semester has been one of the most hectic semesters of my Whole School Career! When I tell you I been through it this semester I really did from hurricanes, to deaths in my family, to [...]

It is finally here, the reflective moment. This has been a long and tough semester for me and I hope and pray that I make it out alive. My level of expertise is beyond what anyone would ever expect from an intro to biblical studies class. As a Christian, I always want [...]

Can I get a AMEN! I thought I would never make it through the semester without catching carpal tunnel, but I made it through… LOL. Anyways, I can speak for myself and say that my level of expertise on the Bible fell short of where it should be. Coming into Biblical Studies, I knew basic [...]

This is the final blog. Well lets see. I think that this class gave students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies because this class wasn’t as easy as people may think. I really had to read, study, and take my time in this class. I had to have discipline to write [...]

Finally, the time has come. The last blog is finally here!!! I am more than overjoyed to be finished with these one thousand word nightmares! Actually, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was around blog number 7. Maybe if I had a little bit more time, maybe more time management skills, I would [...]

I have made it to the end of the semester without pulling all of my hair out (lol). It is really hard to believe it because the semester went by so fast. My classes were pretty descent this semester some easier than others. I have to say that the only classes that [...]
