OT100W(H): Spring 2020 Introduction to the Old Testament

Week 2 Post Instructions

1. Each student is expected to write ONE initial post in this forum, creating your own discussion thread. Your posting should be approximately 250 words and is to address the questions below. The deadline for completing your posting is Thursday at 8:00 AM.

Hit the button at the bottom of this page to add a new discussion topic. When you create your discussion topic/thread, label it YourLastName_Week 2 in the Subject line. Type your posting in the message box. This will allow us to know which thread belongs to which student. Each student will have her or his own discussion topic/thread.

•  (After you complete the Law Codes chart.) What did you learn about each of the law codes covered this week that challenged your prior assumptions about these laws? Give us 3 examples: one learning related to the Decalogue; one related to the Book of the Covenant; and one related to the book of Leviticus. For each, explain why this new learning was meaningful to you.
  

 Because your classmates need you to complete this assignment by the deadline, no late entries will be allowed.

 2. After you have created your initial posting and discussion thread, you are expected to make responses to two of your colleagues’ posting. These responses must have substance. “Good job,” “Well said,” “I agree, “or similar comments do not constitute a substantial response. There is no required word count for responses. It’s about the quality of the response.

Please note that you will not be able to view your classmate’s initial posting until you have made your initial posting. The deadline for making your two responses is Friday at 8:00 AM. This means that you only have 24 hours to make these responses. Plan accordingly.
