Interact with the suggested questions below to guide your reflection: 1) What are 2-3 specific ways your perception of the Old Testament in particular and the Bible as a whole has changed as a result of what you have learned in this course, especially in light of the videos and articles referenced for this assignment? 2) Which of the seven things from the article stood out to you the most? Which of the seven do you think resonated the most with what you’ve learned about the nature of the Bible in general from this course? 3) Given what you have learned about the Old Testament over this semester, how would you approach someone who expressed that they felt the Old Testament was neither relevant or important today? (You can draw from the articleLinks to an external site. you read for the first exercise as well.) 4) Is there anything specific in the article or videos that you disagree with or found confusion? If so, state explicitly what you disagree with or what you found confusing and why. {Note: You are not required to explore all of the questions above, but you are strongly encouraged to interact with at least one of them.
