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.
- 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.
- 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.
