(1 Semester Elective)

Textbooks: The Bible;

Homer A. Kent, Jr., Light in the Darkness: Studies in the Gospel of John (Available from www.bmhco.org/welcome.htm and www.amazon.com)

Supplementary Material: Computer quiz on the Gospel of John. This can be downloaded from http://jarrell.homepage.com

Schedule:

After the first 2 weeks, each section of study will consist of the following elements:

1. Scripture reading

2. Textbook reading

3. Answering Questions for Discussion at end of each chapter

4. Working on a project on the Gospel of John. Some project suggestions:

Memorization of a substantial passage from the Gospel
Preparation of a lesson or short sermon on a passage from John
A research paper on some aspect of the book (e.g., a biographical sketch of the Apostle John; history and beliefs of the Pharisees; the temple in Jesus' time, etc.)

5. The student should keep a notebook for recording chapter titles and answering discussion questions.

Tests: There are no required tests for this class. However, the computer quiz on John (which was my son Jarrell's project for this class) may be used as a final exam.

Daily Schedule: The daily schedule is up to the teacher. In general, each section will fill a week, with extra class periods given to completion and presentation of the project and preparation for the final exam. This class should fill about half the school year, or one semester.
