I will encourage you to think critically about current issues of interpretation and to learn to support your ideas with reasoned and evidence-based arguments. Early Christianity, like the early Judaism from which it sprung, was a religious movement of great diversity. Paul was in the thick of the debate. Examining his experience with such issues may encourage reflection upon our experience. My office is PACB 259.
Appointments are also possible.
I encourage you to email me with questions, comments, etc., if you cannot come by during office hours. In my course, cheating on any assignment besides the final exam will result in an F for that assignment and usually cannot be made up. Inform me during the first week of class if you have a documented learning disability. Some minor aspects of this syllabus are subject to change with notice.
