Awesome job on your Impressions/Outline of Exodus!
When you start reading the homework from the Janzen commentary, compare/contrast your findings with his.

For opening devotions most days in class, we'll open with a short video of someone/anyone around the world, and ask how that person would hear/read/relate to Exodus/Deuteronomy, based on their situation/culture/background. We started today with Nick Vujicic:
We also oriented to the ongoing assignment of the class:
Keep an informal running commentary (better term=journal) on the book of Exodus. As we read through Exodus in the next several weeks, make some notes on each week's readings.
'Student shall keep an ongoing, informal (handwritten is OK, if legible)journal of questions, observations,learnings for each week’s readings of the biblical text"
Focus on:
--Questions that are raised from a "Three Worlds" pesrpective (see 8/30 post)
---For the current week's passage, run in through the "Fourfold Grid" questions (see sallabus, top of page. and below:
1)What does this section of Scripture have to do with my
life situation?
2)What does it have to do with one of the other classes I am currently enrolled in?
3)What does it say to the Western church?
4)What does it have to do with the current world situation?
Student will keep an ongoing, informal (handwritten is OK, if legible)journal of questions, observations,
learnings for each week’s readings of the biblical text. Each entry should address a)“three worlds”
questions and b)the fourfold grid (described above).
