    At the end of each section you will find a list of seven questions to help you engage with the material Prof. Wright presented in his lectures. The purpose of these questions is to provide you with the opportunity for personal reflection, or to help you think more deeply about what you are learning. They are in no specific order, and you do not need to answer them all. The questions are intended to help you engage with the material and to assist your own further study. The goal is that as the Spirit renews our minds, we will be able to practically apply this knowledge to our lives.

    We also invite you to pick one or two of these probing questions and share your insights or questions in the Q&A section of the course. The purpose of this discussion forum is to help further your understanding of the course material, and for the building up of the body of Christ.

    While viewing the course, you can access the Q&A section by following these steps:

    -Click ‘Go to Dashboard’ in the upper-right corner.

    -Locate the ‘Course Content’ heading and click the triple bar menu icon on the right margin.

    -Select ‘Q&A’ and then ‘Ask a new question.’ 

Requirements
