Reply #15: The Genesis course was a new one, premiered that year

I think the professor WAS anticipating problems, because a lot of the students were from small towns. But there were no such problems, and we moved right on from "Why the first chapters of Genesis aren't literal history" to form criticism and multiple authorship.

We were required to take Introduction to Theology as freshmen and Biblical Studies as sophomores. Then we had to take an additional elective in the Religious Studies department. I chose Studies in Genesis because it seemed the most interesting of the classes that would fit into my schedule.
