Old Testament 302 SPRING 2007


David Dault - Instructor

Class meets Thursday nights from 5:30 - 8pm in Classroom A in the Baptist World Center building

This is an online resource for students participating in the class.

TEXTS FOR THE CLASS:

  • Brevard Childs, Old Testament Theology in a Canonical Context
  • Please bring a Bible to every class meeting
  • Handouts distributed in class

  • MIDTERM STUDY GUIDE

    It is expected that you will have assigned texts read 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.
