Final Bible Projects at PIU

  The end of the semester has arrived and the students had final projects in both Mike’s Old Testament Survey class and my Exegesis in Wisdom Literature class. Mike’s OT100 class had to do a creative project on an Old Testament subject while my OT404 class had to take a passage from wisdom literature and present their exegesis work to the class along with a 3-5 minute homily that made clear and applied the main message of the text. The students obviously put a lot of work into their projects and I think they had some fun with it too. Most important they understand the message of these books better and are much better equipped to teach others.

On the left, Greg Calvo (looking a bit like the big final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark) leads Mike’s class through a Passover while, on the right, beat poet Jonie Jones, explores the deep message of Proverbs 9 and makes pointed application accompanied by bongo drums.

Rommel Carino and Joshua Combs teach their wisdom psalms in a more traditional style

Josh Ladd and Johnny Esa took us through Psalm 72 and 62.
