A reading assignment




I got the idea for this assignment from a similar exercise in a literature course. This is due by 4 October.

Using your chosen pericope:

  1. Read and journal your first impressions, posting them on your blog page
  2. Draw a picture of your pericope (artistic merit is not the point here), and then journal/post on the experience. (If you can, photograph and upload the pic to your page.)
  3. Speak the pericope out loud and practice until you have it the way you think it should be read out loud. (If possible record it as an MP3 and upload it!) Then journal/post about this experience.
  4. Journal/post about how your impressions and understanding of the pericope changed through this process.

NOTE: To post, follow this procedure: login to the blog. If the “Dashboard” banner at the top is not seen, then click on “Site Admin” in the “Meta” box on the lower right side of the home page. Once the Dashboard is viewable, click on “Manage” then “Pages” then find your page and click on “Edit” on the right hand side.

    I look forward to seeing the results. Do you also teach the “gnostic” gospels in this course?

    The Gospel of Thomas, and the teachings of Valentinus, both transformed my relationship to the tradition.

    Thanks for the link :)

    Welcome, Clay! No, we do not address the gnostic texts in this class. We are mainly interested in experiencing the Gospel of Mark in a variety of ways.
