C ONTENT E NGAGEMENT : P REPARING FOR M ODULE 8 For Module 8, please answer the following questions in preparation for engaging the final week of content: What has been one textual source you have enjoyed or looked forward to engaging throughout the term. Explain why. What has been one video presentation source you have enjoyed or looked forward to engaging through the term. Explain why. What are three key points you have learned from the content you would like to take away from this course? What do you hope will be covered by content in our final week? Responses: The one textual source I’ve really enjoyed is, “Approaching the New Testament” by Adam McClendon and John Cartwright because the textual source resonates with me on a personal level which was a very emotional experience for me to read through. One video presentation source I have really enjoyed was the Gospel of Matthew video because it is my favorite Gospel and has a compelling portrayal of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Three key points I have learned that I would take away from the course are; the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, Paul’s epistles and early Christian life, as well as the historical/cultural context. I hope the last week will cover the deep dive into the book of Revelation which I also hope covers the end times, judgement, and the ultimate triumph of God’s kingdom. Page 9 of 9
