Here we go.
This week, I officially begin PhD studies at Southwestern Seminary. (For an idea of exactly what that means, just click here.) This semester I’m taking two reading seminars, a graduate research seminar, and a theological German class. At this point, it’s probably best that I just take a deep breath, because I won’t be coming up for air again any time soon.
Below are the books that are assigned for my classes.
