Reinventing the Bible Seminar Blog

Welcome the course blog for RELI 3491-2 Special Topics, aka Reinventing the Bible. We'll use this site for the weekly blog assignments, described here on this site and on our TLearn page.

To help you shake off the rust from the overly long holiday break, here are some things you need to do before our first meeting on January 13.

• Read the first for Chapters of Timothy Beal's The Rise and Fall of the Bible (available on our TLearn site if you haven't purchased the book yet). 
• Go to your Trinity email account and accept the invitation to be an author on this blog. 
• Sign up to receive email updates to this blog by going to the "Follow by Email" widget on the right hand side of this blog. 

While not required in the same way the above items are, we also highly recommend the following:

• Spend a little time looking at the public blog for the course, which you'll find at http://www.reinventingthebible.com/. We've been tracking some of the ways in which the Bible is appropriated or "reinvented" in contemporary settings, making the blog posts a kind of mini-archive of things that have happened in the last few months. 

We're looking forward to this seminar and can't wait to get started.
