This course is very educational, and provides a great breakdown of The Bible, and where it came from. It has helped me gain a further understanding of the authority behind the writings, and has given me some more tools to put into my pocket.
Thanks so much, Scott.

I enjoyed the course and found the information interesting and helpful. My only suggestion would be for Mr. Metz to put his lecture into a printable format. I prefer to review the course information way from my computer and find taking notes difficult with arthritic hands. Also, the stopping and starting of the lectures to take notes detracts from the material and the message. Otherwise, a great course.

I really enjoyed this course. I have also taken the course The Bible-An Introduction to the New Testament - another course written by Scott Metz. I would recommend these courses to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Bible. The courses are very interesting, educational, and enjoyable. I would certainly take another course written by Scott Metz. Thank you for all of your work.
