Seminary Update: Winter Classes and Their Books

I am finishing a class this Fall with Southern Seminary on "The Sermon on the Mount" with Dr. Jonathan Pennington. I opted for only one class this Fall, since I had bigger fish to fry (a wedding, a honeymoon, new marriage to cultivate).

This Winter I will be taking two classes. Winter terms are shorter and therefore more concentrated. After these two classes are completed I will have only three classes remaining, allowing me to graduate this Spring!

The two classes and their reading lists are as follows.
