Title: NT331 Book Study: Paul’s Letter to the Romans (DVD)
Dr. Douglas Moo teaches New Testament at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. For over 20 years, his ministry was based at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. His academic interests revolve around the interface of exegesis and theology. Dr. Moo seeks to model to students a rigorous approach to the Greek text that always asks the “so what” questions of ultimate significance and application. The Pauline and general epistles have been his special focus within the NT canon. In the next few years, he will be writing commentaries on Galatians and Hebrews, a Pauline theology, and a theological and practical book on creation care.
Dr. Moo has also been active in his local church, serving as elder most years, teaching and preaching to the church, and conducting home Bible studies. Because of his New Testament expertise, he has served on the Committee on Bible Translation—the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV and with producing the TNIV.
Getting the most out of Mobile Ed
Logos Mobile Education is a highly effective cross-platform learning environment that integrates world class teaching with the powerful study tools and theological libraries available in Logos Bible Software. Every course provides links to additional resources and suggested readings that supplement the lecture material at the end of every transcript segment.
I've just started it, but my previous experience with Dr. Moo's teaching and writing is excellent!!!
My current frustration is with the Syllabus. I do not remember ever taking a class where the required books for the class were not listed. I could not even find the list without much searching and finally joining the Faithlife class group. Even finding the list only seems to list the books I already have in logos and not the ones I do not have (not without a lot of extra clicking). I see this as a huge oversight in the course ware designers. I'm sure that Dr. Moo is used to listing the books required for his classes.
Not having a required reading list is not only majorly frustrating and inconvenient, it also violates a Biblical principle to count the cost before you choose a course of action. I was not able to even know what books I needed before I purchased the class.Foolish me of course, but I did not even realize that there would be required supplemental reading. It is a good and helpful thing to have it, but I would like to have the reading list accessible up front!!!
Furthermore, it seems that Logos seems to assume, without evidence, that I do not have access to any required reading materials if they have not been purchased through Logos. If they at least listed the titles instead of just telling me that I do not have that resource, I could check to see if I have a printed copy of the required resource or could borrow it from a friend.
Also, even though I have read a lot about this mobile ed format, I do not see anywhere, that credits or exam grades will be given. It is fine with me if they are not, since I may want to take a particular class only to meet certain goals of my own and not to meet the full class requirements. However, it would be good to know these things before the class is purchased.
Intense study of God's word should not have this much frustration before I even get started. It is a blessing from God that I have been able to take other classes from seminaries and study the Word intensely before to realize its very great rewards, otherwise I might have given up!!!
I really value the opportunity to learn more from Dr. Moo. Thank-you Logos for that!!!
