Excellent study leader thought provoker. I enjoyed his class, perspective, and exceptional knowledge of the bible. It was a very engaging class.

I thoroughly enjoyed both the course and the teacher. He introduced auxiliary sources, which enriched our reading, and he was a considerate and patient comment listener.

The course exceeded my learning objectives because of the atmosphere of acceptance and interest created by the course leader.
