Scripture Review - Please read

As this course is a "bookend" to your years in Theology as well as a course in Spirituality, you will have a review of Holy Scripture beginning with the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) . This review can be found starting on page 79 of your binder. Additional notes will be given. In the upcoming week, there will be a short test on the material. After the Hebrew Scripture review, there will be a Christian Scriptures review also followed by a short test. These are the only objective/short answer essay tests in the course. Again, this is all to emphasize the importance of religious literacy and study.

Hebrew Scripture Review - The following videos are meant to compliment class lectures. Not all of them will be used in class.
