This Week's Sub Class


I thought that the substitute professor did a great job this week. It was interesting seeing the first pieces of scripture that has been preserved over the years. I know that there have been significant discoveries of scripture as well as other religious artifacts found in Israel, but I did not realize how much more was found in Egypt because of the better preserving conditions - I think he said about 90% of scripture was found in Egypt alone. It was also interesting seeing where Jesus, John, Luke, Paul...etc. lie on a timeline and seeing how they influenced each other-that was pretty neat. I have more knowledge of my Jewish roots than my Christian (Protestant) roots and it is always nice to learn new things from either.
