Study day

The aim of the first study day was to "Engage more purposefully with New Testament text". Andy - the amazingly charismatic and captivating lecturer who has put together this,our first module - led us to the most frequent command in the Bible. Know what it is? DO NOT BE AFRAID. Ok, so I could [try] to stop being terrified of the assignment. During the day we talked about the assignment, which is to be an Exegesis of a passage of NT text. Exegesis means to "draw out" and we had done an exercise in it, using a model given to us, in our first group session. We did some more practising on the study day and it made it all a lot less scary and a bit more doable. Andy told us as part of the day that there are lots more examples of exegesis and I made myself a note to look for more... It was such a good study day and good to be with people from the other study groups too.
