I have now had all but one of my classes and it seems like there is quite a bit of work to do. I think my favourite class this term is going to be The World of the early Christians- 200AD, a look at the world and culture in which Jesus is born into. Knowing the context surrounding the stories I think will be interesting, looking through the perspective of the people Jesus was catering to in his teachings.
Interesting fact: When Herod ordered the slaughter of all baby boys 2 and under at the time of Jesus' birth it would have only been a couple dozen. I thought that was interesting, now Herod doesn't seem to be such a bad guy...
