For those who love textual studies and are interested in the textual history of both NT and OT, I highly recommend this course. Deepak Kumar Singh has done a good job in highlighting its strengths in a previous comment, to which I will refer those interested. Dr Andrew Perrin has done an excellent job packing in a ton of information. His arguments are well developed starting with the crucial step of defining key terms and concepts at each stage. The details and insights are riches, and can be overwhelming. The ideas and concepts are developed with great adherence and sensitivity to the evidence presented. For me, the value of the course is to follow these ideas, and learn about ways to evaluate textual, exegetical and hermeneutical understandings that arose from the DSS discoveries. I think that this course requires a willingness to engage in deeper arguments and thought. It is not easy to follow and requires close attention. It is phenomenal in its depth and breath! One of the very best Mobile Ed courses I've taken, a substantial feast that needs a lot of digesting!
