By Angela Burdge on 7/12/2020

Yes my goal this year was to learn more of the old testament

By Pamela J Henderson on 7/1/2020

This course was a good match because I want to learn more about the Bible.

By Paul G Leavenworth on 5/5/2020

I really enjoyed this course as it gave me an Old Testament view/context for understanding the suffering of Christ and his followers. I liked that Wright's teaching was done in 15-minute sessions so I could better grasp "main points" within the overall context of Isaiah 40-55.

By Billie Jempty on 4/23/2020

The discourse is easy to follow and describes clearly whats happening historically.

By Eileen Jaramillo on 4/5/2020

I took courses in scripture for my MDiv degree and I have taken non-credit classes as well. Additionally, I also had scripture courses in my DMin degree. I find your quizzes to contain trick questions. In my opinion, they do not enhance the study of scripture. They are aspects of the course that are unnecessary knowledge. I found them to be very irritating for someone like myself who does not have a Masters or Doctorate in scripture.

By Dave Horn on 4/5/2020

Teacher knows his stuff. He has no fundamentalist or ideological axes to grind. He obviously loves this text and understands it well.

By Tim Knight on 3/24/2020

Clear, pithy, holistic teaching of excellent quality.
