evening class

last night was the first class again, after a while in exile for skipping a couple, though not in a row, but this time i'm doing it in pennant hills, instead of newtown. the subject is called new testament 2 (the epistles), though i haven't done new testament 1 before :) the class is much smaller, consisting of 13 people, compared to 4 times more than that in newtown. thus, it's heap easier to concentrate for me. it's quite an interesting subject. you try to understand the big pictures in each of the books that made up the epistles (paul's letters and general ones), why they were written, the issues addressed, the structures of writings, connections between the theological and application parts in the letters, etc. also much informed is the contend of the book of acts, which you get to find out regarding paul's missionary journeys along the way as he wrote to the churches. i've got to tell you that i suffer consequently in this area considering my poor ability in reading maps!

have one assignment of short essay to hand in within four weeks. the question is meant to compare and contrast regarding christological hymns in the book of phillipians and collosians.
due to the small size of the class, i can't escape but to take the exam this time, unless i am certain that i won't ever again be taught by the same lecturer, who is rather good at explaining things that quick, but still convey the points clearly.
