I have now officially through the first week of all my classes this semester. Every one of them promises to be really enjoyable. Interestingly, there seems to be an emphasis in almost all of them of a whole-Bible sort of hermeneutic–understanding a text and even our role in the world in light of salvation history. This is something I have been seeing lately in my own study (and if you were in Bible study, it came out there) so it is exciting to study it more deeply.
In case you don’t know, the classes I am taking are Hermeneutics, English Composition II, New Testament Survey I, Old Testament Survey I, and World Views I. If you’re a CF member, you will get to meet our (Laura’s and my) World Views Professor in October. He is preaching at a Heartland meeting.
Pray that I can find a good church here.

brian,
sounds like things are going well. In terms of the salvation history hermenuetic (aka biblical theology) a great book I would highly recommend is According to Plan by Greame Goldsworthy. It does a great job at helping one to develop that hermenuetic in how they approach every text of Scripture. Also, you can see what the youth is up to on http://www.trevorholloway.blogspot.com. We prayed for you and Laura on Wednesday night. Well, have fun!
