Keep in mind this is how I will avoid studying for my Hebrew exam in 36 hours (that I will most likely do very very poorly on).
Decided to go to a Theological Research Seminar at school today. These are seminars held for the opportunity of students and professors to showcase what they are working on. This one was on a re-examination of gender roles based on Adam and Eve. The woman speaking was clearly moving towards an Egalitarian view despite not bringing it up explicitly. It was a little hard to understand her, because she is native to Japan.
I gained some valuable insight for which student was part of what camp based on the questions that people asked her. The camps I am referring to are Egalitarianism vs. Complementarianism.
After the seminar, I talked with some of the other seminary students and it was nice to just shoot the breeze and chat about random things. Definitely want to read more, as a lot of these young men are more well read than I am.
Had Hebrew class, which is always nerve-wracking. You always get asked questions about your translations in that class. So it is like playing Russian Roulette for hard verses. I did not have any difficulties this class (which is always praiseworthy!)
Afterwards, I drove the prof to my evening class on Judges. Over burgers, we talked about random things. I learned of his love for Christian history and that he comes from the Reformed tradition. I realize now that I can learn a lot for him, so I definitely need to get thesis prep work done.
And now, I study for Hebrew.
