Academic Credit Information

If you are a registered student at an academic institution you may be eligible for 2 or 3 hours of academic credit. You must make your own arrangements for academic credit with the Academic Dean of your institution. See below for academic credit procedures. For those of you desiring academic credit, you must fulfill the following academic requirements.

  1. You are required to read in advance of the program, Everett Ferguson, Backgrounds of Early Christianity, Second Edition, Eerdmans, 1993 (available from Amazon.com ). It is not necessary to bring your book on the program; however, you may find it useful as a resource. A three-page (single spaced) “book report” is required and is to be received by Dr. Wink Thompson no later than May 15, 2004 . Your book report is to be a critical assessment of the book you read and your personal response to the material presented. (For example): How did this reading offer new insight into your understanding of the Hellenistic World and Early Christianity? How has this reading helped you to better understand Paul's ministry? Have you come to realize new elements that have benefited your understanding of the movement of the gospel from the Judeo-Christian World to the Greco-Roman World? If so, what are they? Explain with examples and comparisons.
  2. You are required to take two essay exams (“open field notes”) during the program – one at the conclusion of the mainland Greece study and one at the conclusion of the Turkey study. These essay exams will ask you to interact with a biblical passage based on your reading and fieldtrip experience. Your book report and essays will be graded and evaluated by Dr. Notley. Dr. Thompson will return to you your report and essays and will inform your Academic Dean (or other) that you have completed the academic requirements for credit and a grade has been assigned. Dr. Notley assumes no academic responsibility other than the grading of the Emmaus material assigned and presented. Your home institution is responsible for assigning and grading any additional academic requirements.
