Fall Courses at Princeton Seminary

September 23, 2007

After some adding and dropping - I think I finally have the classes I’ll be sticking with for the rest of the semester. For those who are interested, here is what I’ll be taking:

Calvin and the Renewal of the Church with Stacy Johnson
I’m not all that excited to read Calvin, actually, but I think it [...]

Last “first day of school”?

September 19, 2007

Classes start today - for returning Princeton Seminary students and the new MDivs, MAs, ThMs and PhDs (pictured above). It was interesting to go through the orientation/convocation festivities last night as a student spouse - instead of when I did these same activities, 3 years ago. The conversation at dinner with Wentzel van Huyssteen was [...]

Finished.

May 9, 2007

It feels good - exams taken, papers written. Not quite as nice as other friends who are completely done with seminary for good. But, it still feels good. Now I’m free to just work on web & graphic design work this summer and do my CPE full-time from May 29 - August 10. I don’t [...]

One More Year

May 8, 2007

These are some of my best friends from my time at Princeton Seminary. They are fun people and we’ve had some great memories. But right now, I’m a little upset with them. You see, they are done. Done. They are done with seminary. No more classes or final papers. But I’m still finishing up, and [...]

EC05: An Emergent, Postmodern Biblical Hermeneutic

May 18, 2005

I thought since we are here at the Emergent Convention, I’d post this paper that I wrote just a few weeks ago. You can download the PDF of my paper here. Below, you can read the conclusion for the paper.
It is difficult to paint the entire spectrum of a postmodern worldview and understanding of biblical [...]

And so it begins…

January 28, 2005

We’ve only had classes for 5 days, and already my room is an absolute MESS. Things are wrapping up from last semester and I’m just waiting on 2 papers now. I’m experiencing a bit more “variety” in my grades this semester than I’ve been used to in any previous years of school, but nothing is [...]

Giving the mind a break…

January 14, 2005

Sleeping in, playing with computers, hanging out with Josh, listening to the iPod, relaxing…life after finals. What a beautiful, beautiful thing. It feels so good to be done with the paper(s). I’ll be blogging more tonight and tomorrow - anyway, for anyone who has any desire to read a bit about open theism and relationality, [...]

Hebrew final, here I come!

January 10, 2005

I spent a few hours this morning going over Powerpoint files from my Hebrew lessons, and it was actually quite helpful. But just so y’all know what we have to deal with, here are some rules to follow when working with the vowel changes and reductions within the construct chains. Yup.

Entering my post-Derridean/pre-______ Phase

November 24, 2004

I’m not sure if you’d call it a pride issue, or what, but I really wanted to do Derrida for this paper. I wanted to be able to say that I used Derrida for my paper and I thought there was a connection between Dionysius and Derrida. There is actually a connection and Derrida did [...]

Dionysius, Derrida & the Emerging Church

November 12, 2004

I spent today tracking down books from the seminary library and from Firestone at Princeton University, for my paper for my Dionysian course. It’s the one course I’m struggling with enjoying the most, and although I’m taking it Pass/Fail, the paper is our only grade in the course and therefore, it needs to be good. [...]
