  • My biggest problem with this course is the fact that I really don't agree with certain interpretations of the scriptures, and often they were taken out of context. The quizzes were very challenging and confusing, and even a pastor could not pass them without taking them multiple times. I did learn new things from this course, but I'm skeptical as to whether or not they are theologically sound due to the professor's teaching background and his many grand leaps of logic when he interpreted passages of scripture.

  • Dr. Hulbert's survey of the four gospels really helped each of the gospels come alive. I now have a much better understanding of what Christ did for us, the disciples, the Jewish people, and the time in which they lived. Thank you to ODBU for making this wonderful lecture series available!
