What students say about distance learning courses...

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER with this course. It opened up whole new vistas for me. The distance learning is a terrific program because it allowed me to basically set my own schedule. . . . I very much enjoyed the privilege of reading other people's views and ideas, especially from other cultures.
   —Marite Pelverts

THE COURSE WAS A GOOD OVERVIEW of the Old Testament; I feel we got a good sense of the variety of materials and a general introduction to the content and themes. I leave the course wanting to know more — a good sign! — rather than bored or overwhelmed.
   — Virginia Hostetler

I DEEPLY APPRECIATE how much insight you bring to these classes. I have been convicted, inspired, and overwhelmed at times during these classes. Your balance and fairness are key in leading students to an increased understanding of scripture. I will miss this course. It has forced me to do more reading than I might have done. It has given me several good books to refer to in the future, and it has been a great introduction to seminary training.
   —Terry J. Zehr

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED and greatly benefited from this course. I think it has given me a foundational understanding of the Old Testament from which to build. I certainly am inspired to read and study more.
