So at the age of 27 i have decided to go back to school. The school is the Wales Evangelical School of Theology, otherwise known as WEST, and i have gone to study there for three years on a BA in Theology.
it's an exciting time for me and my wife, and i look forward to what i am going to learn. I have already learnt the Hebrew alphabet and will probably keep writing some of the things that i have learnt.
One thing that i have learnt and will look into, is what use are the intertestamental writings, books like 1,2 and 3 Maccabees and the Testament of Job. Are they useful for interpreting the NT or are they all just a load of rubbish?
Currently i'm erring on the "they are pretty much rubbish" argument! Why look at them, when you could just look at the OT, which is probably what Paul did when writing his letters. However, it is a controversial point and will look into it some more!
Anyway, back to my Hebrew learning!
