Classes

I've got 4 classes this semester:

Hebrew II - that is why I'm only in 4 and not 5...I'm jumping into this Hebrew II class after taking Hebrew I in Birmingham, which used a different book. It doesn't help that I didn't really apply myself in Hebrew I to begin with, but changing to a different book really screwed things up for me because I had about 150 words to either learn or relearn - in one week. I feel much lighter right now after taking the test to be able to officially enter the class. I know I didn't do great on it, but I'm positive that I at least passed it, which is all I needed. But anyway, now that I'm in the class I've still got a lot of work to get to where I need to be, so I dropped one of my classes so I could concentrate more on Hebrew.

Theology of Outreach - basically a missions class. We've already covered the biblical foundations in missions, and we will cover an array of other topics. Just to name a few: the sovereignty of God in missions, the destiny of the unevangelized, controversies in missions and church planting. There's lots of reading to do and a big paper to write, but I think it will be my favorite one.

Theology II - we're covering anthropology (study of man), hamartiology (the study of sin) and soteriology (the study of salvation). Again, a lot of reading for this one, but it should still be good.

Pastoral Leadership I - this class is by far the easiest and most laid back. It's just a one hour class and only requires one book to be read. It's taught by the pastor of the church I attend (and where our classes are held). He has a lot of good things to share so I'm excited about this one too.
