A New Semester
This last Thursday I started my second of three years working on a Master of Divinity at Detroit Bapitst Theological Seminary. In order to graduate in May 2010 I will have to do 16 credit hours each semester. Here’s the classes I’m taking this semester:
Greek Syntax and Reading (4 credits)
A study of New Testament Greek grammar concentrating in the area of syntax. Attention is also given to increasing the student’s vocabulary. Selected portions of the New Testament are translated.
Elementary Hebrew Grammar (4 credits)
A study of the essential elements of biblical Hebrew grammar. The intent of this course is to focus on the basic principles of Hebrew phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary.
Fundamentalism (2 credits)
An examination of the belief system, distinctives, and history of fundamentalism in America.
Systematic Theology I (4 credits)
A study of material introductory to systematic theology, the Bible’s teaching concerning itself, the dispensational approach to Scripture, the existence and attributes of God, and the origin and ministry of angels.
Homiletics II (2 credits)
A practical course designed to assist the student in the utilization of homiletical principles in sermon preparation and delivery. An emphasis will be placed on the application of proper speech techniques.
It’s going to be a very challenging semester, but I’m excited. I’ve already spent a couple hours memorizing the Hebrew alphabet. What could possibly be a better way to spend your time?

Let me guess one of your books for the Fundamentalism class: “Reforming Fundamentalism” by George Marsden.
