  • An excellent course!

    — Russell, Canada
  • The content was very good, although only the second lecture was specifically about Matthew and Mark. I enjoyed learning the background information about the New Testament canon and the theory of Hermeneutics and Exegesis though. The lecture was delivered at quite a fast speed with no natural breaks, so I found it difficult to take in the information, but using the transcript with the questions helped with this. Thank you, I feel I have learned new things through this course.
