Pauline Reflection

I could not think up a clever title as my fellow graduate Mr. Adam B. so that title will have to do. I had high hopes coming into Pauline this semester. The last upper level Dr. Foster class that I took was Life of Christ (which is also recommended if one wants to gain more knowledge of the Gospels). I have always been intrigued by the person of Paul in a very naive sense -- meaning that I never really knew anything about the man. Our class this semester provided a new outlook for me when I examine the letters and teachings of Paul. Moreover, I learned a ton of information regarding history and the importance of context in Biblical studies.

For the most part, I enjoyed my time in Pauline Epistles. The one thing that bothered me the most was my increased stress level because of my anxiety to graduate. But apart from that, I felt that this class was beneficial to my ministry. In the most cheerleader way that I can, I fell that I am a better person because of Pauline Epistles in Spring 2006 (no seriously, B-E-T-T-E-R BETTER!!!!!....with a song and dance to follow). I have enjoyed my time in this class and around the people that encompass the class. I have made new friends through this class and have gained new respect for everyone. Do well in your ministries and God Bless.
