Instructions:
In preparation for each week's meeting, students are required to write a blog entry in response to the weekly readings. Blog entries should deal directly and critically with the readings and how they relate to the course topics. You are also encouraged to bring in articles/events/topics you have found outside of the assigned readings that relate to the topic of the week. The audiences for your blog entry are your classmates and professors, but you should write your blog entry so anyone who reads it can follow your commentary. Think of your blog entry as your "Op-Ed" piece for the week.
The best blog entries--as chosen by Professors Spigel and Dupertuis--will be posted on www.ReInventingTheBible.com (with the author's permission). We will also try to pitch excellent blog posts to editors of local and national news platforms (therivardreport.com; HuffPost--Religion, etc.).
Here are the general requirements for blog entries:
