SEMESTER TWO
4206 Hebrew Christians — Jimmilea Berryhill, DPhil (c):
Although first century Christians have been the focus of many studies and attempts at duplication in church style and worship, the history of the earliest and most prominent groups of believers in Messiah are sparse.

4207 Josephus:
The course looks at the man, his writings, his motives, his culture, and his faith as a Jew. In this complicated story and web of intrigue, it is not always simple to define the good actions of Josephus from the not so good actions of him a a prominent Jew of the Jewish revolution. This course studies the events of this period and the effect of Josephus’ work during and after his lifetime.
4208 Biblical Poetry — Steve Lancaster, MA., ThM:
This study organizes the styles and patterns of Biblical poetry into areas that speak to the culture, to the history, and to the language of the Hebrew people in such a manner that the stories never age nor the meaning of those stories die.

4210 Religious History of Mesopotamia — Judith Fain, MA:

With Iraq as an opening nation, study in and about this area is likely to explode This study will prepare believers for future encounters with needy people of all nations and firm the foundations of a mighty God and His love.
