Old Testament 201

First Term

The class this term will cover the Torah (Pentateuch) and the Historical Books (Former Prophets).

Second Term

The Fall term will cover the Writings and the Prophetic Books, integrating them into the framework of the first term.

Classes begin Saturday January 9th

Classes will commence this coming Saturday, January 9, 2010, at 10am, PST. Class times on the second Saturday of each month (through June) will be 10am, 1pm, & 2:30pm. This allows for Mattins & Noon Mass at St Mary of the Angels. (Those attending the Mass are encouraged to bring a sack lunch.) A workshop on using WebEx will be featured on the first day.

Class Material

Fr Jonathan Bar-On will present some fascinating material by way of introduction. The text-books will be sent during the next week to those who sign up. Reading assignments are to be finished before the next class day, February 13. Nine textbooks will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Afterwards, participants will have to get them from another source. (The textbook has an interactive CD included.)

Location

One locus for live participation in the class will be the Choir Room at St Mary of the Angels. It will be possible to establish other 'community sites' if there is need & opportunity. This will allow those without personal computers to participate. (Please make certain such potential students receive notice and this Registration Form.)

On-Line via WebEx

The class will be accessible on line, through WebEx. Details will be sent to all who register. Class will also be recorded so that it can be reviewed later, without the live interaction, of course.  Special provision may be made for those on Ordination Track.  Please do not hesitate to ask, if there is need. Arrangements for paying the registration by installments can also be made.

Registration Information

Registrants should immediately copy the pages required for registration, fill them out, and fax them at once to St Mary of the Angels. Payment should be sent by mail, or hand delivery in Hollywood (Find more information and directions here).

Please pray God's blessing upon this endeavor.

In Christ,
