I've read the Sanders one which, as you say, should defintely get your students enthusiastic about the subject. Not heard of the other one though. I might have to try and track it down.<BR/><BR/>MattMatt Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113670876288157267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-1156386146354899852006-08-23T22:22:00.000-04:002006-08-23T22:22:00.000-04:00Rick -- yes -- an honour and a heck of a challenge...Rick -- yes -- an honour and a heck of a challenge. However, Ed Sanders did not do any undergraduate teaching for the last two years before his retirement last year, so in fact I am following some very able people from outside the regular faculty.<BR/><BR/>Michael -- thanks for those comments. I have tried another thing too, which is to use 90% on-line resources, so that there is not the demand on students buying text books and at the same time they get a good variety of texts in their "essential" reading.Mark Goodacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115370166754797529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-1156341550501593992006-08-23T09:59:00.000-04:002006-08-23T09:59:00.000-04:00Following Sanders teaching a class on Paul must be...Following Sanders teaching a class on Paul must be quite the honor.Rick Sumnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284073533968750655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-1156306832201449322006-08-23T00:20:00.000-04:002006-08-23T00:20:00.000-04:00Good comments, Mark.

Your comments on the "textbook culture" really hit home for me also. I've often wondered if something is wrong with me, since most of my colleagues don't seem to have the same problem I do in choosing textbooks for courses! And I've also solved one of those problems with the same textbook: my Pauline Epistles I students will read Horrell's great little book as part of their required reading.Michael Pahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225370303628344885noreply@blogger.com
