Christ as Priest and Lamb I

Tuesday, April 14

Due to the craziness of Easter and exams, there have been changes to the schedule.

For tongiht, read Leviticus 21-22 & Hebrews 1-7.

Next week we will read Hebrews 8-12 (you can skip 11, since we already discussed it) & the selections from Bruce Chilton's book, The Temple of Jesus (all of the pages I copied, not just the epilogue).

We will push Atonement back to April 28 and cut Cur Deus Homo. This essay by Anselm, which I excerpted in your reader, was pivotal to Christian thought, but we will get some of it already in the Claude Beaufort Moss reading. Do try to find some time to read it after the semester is over, though!

I hope this works. Keep up the good work and insightful comments!

A friend sent this along; you might be interested:

Hey!
There's a movie called The Widow's Mite that hit theaters this week. I'm going to check it out: it won the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, and I saw some strong reviews for it. It's a movie-within-a-movie, telling the story of a family making a film to help a widow on the brink of financial collapse. For more info, including a trailer, behind-the-scenes clips, and the list of theaters it's in, visit http://www.widowsmightthemovie.com.

I think it's cool that there's some great independent films out there! And some are reaching a wide audience: in 2008, Fireproof grossed the most of any film at the boxoffice.

God bless!

For background on Hebrews, I found this helpful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle_to_the_Hebrews

I thought it sounded fairly medieval, so I wanted to check the date, but the article explains this is rather just a "literary" or "scholarly style."
