TEXT FOR THE CLASS
Shirley Guthrie,
Christian Doctrine, Revised Edition,
Westminster John Knox Press
It is expected that you will have read the assigned texts before class, as we will discuss them on the day shown.
Some tips on reading academic texts
To print the online texts
I would recommend going to the 'File' menu and selecting 'Print Preview' - you should then see the text laid out properly for standard paper. Look to make sure words aren't being cut off on the edges in the preview. From there you can press 'Print' and all should be well. If cut-offs are happening you will need to find out how to adjust that particular machine's settings, or another option would be to 'Select all' in the edit menu, and copy and paste the text into a Word document and print from there.
You will be responsible for
the content of the Guthrie text, content of the lectures, and class discussions. Class participation will be a significant portion of your final grade.
