Winter 2024 - Honestly if you arent that interested in this topic I wouldn't take it. Can be very confusing without some prior knowledge of the Bible. It is a history class after all though, so you cant think about the class biblically. The lectures can be interesting but also quite annoying since it felt like 80% of the class was him answering students' questions that were not relevant to the midterm/ final. I would suggest doing a class study guide with everyone that's what helped me pass. ATTEND EVERY CLASS get any points you can just in case you don't do well on an exam it helps.
