Welcome to Apollos XIV!
Welcome to the Apollos blog! We've packed a lot of resources into this site, all designed to help you get the most out of your time in class.
Here's a guideline for writing your papers:
Please email your homework to:
John Kuvakas - kuvakas@gmail.com
Doug Sachs - eldersachs@verizon.net
Lois Ristau (ladies only) - lvristau@gmail.com
We'll need your assignments no later than 24 hours prior to class so we can review them and provide input. This is not a pass/fail class. Most of the input you will receive will be designed to get you thinking a little deeper and will not require a response unless we specifically ask for one.
Looking forward to seeing you in class!
Meanwhile, here are some resources you can take a look at if you have time.
What about those "Lost Gospels?"
Here's a guideline for writing your papers:
- Read the article a number of times
- Identify and highlight keywords, words that would help you better understand the article if you knew a bit more about them.
- Check the Scripture references mentioned in the SoF w/references. Some of these will be a bit involved. Don't spend too much time on the ones that may take a lot of work.
- Look up your keyword in Strongs. The words with an "H" prefix are Hebrew )Old Testament), a "G" prefix denotes Greek (New Testament).
- You can learn progressively more with each succeeding resource.
- Vine's will give you the basic meaning of the word. Hebrew is in front, Greek in back.
- The Bible dictionary reveals more. Words are alphabetical in English.
- Nave Topical Bible goes even deeper.
- Grudem's Systematic Theology is a deep and detailed look at biblical doctrine and theology.
- "Charts" can help you sort out varying positions on doctrinal issues such as baptism, communion, sanctification, etc.
- MacArthur's Commentary can help you look at an entire passage.
- Write down what you've learned. Don't be concerned with your length but please don't go over two pages. Resist the urge to cut and paste. Give us your thoughts.
- Summarize with a short paragraph about what this article means to you.
- The online resources to the right are all approved resources, feel free to use them as you see fit.
