The book for next semester’s english class is the Bible. What do I do?
I’m taking an english class next semester at a part-time college, but the book we’re going to be using is the Bible, or the modern revised Bible. (it’s not a religious or spiritual class, just a writing/composition class). The problem is that i’m not christian. I know we’re going to have to write papers about stuff from the book. And since i’m not christian, i have no clue about anything do to with the Bible. 1st of all, is it right for a teacher to make the book the Bible (i’m not concerned, just curious for your opinions) and 2nd, What should I do? How am i going to pass the class?
i’m not saying i’m upset that she chose the bible, i was more asking on how to go about doing good in the class. plus, i’ve tried starting in on the book, but i can’t seem to undertstand it
thanks for all the great feedback so far, i guess i’ll just view it as an assigment and to just finish the assigment. thanks!
Buy the Bible and do the work assigned.
It’s not like she’s forcing you to convert. In acadamia, you are to approach everything with an open mind. Besides, even if you don’t subscribe to christianity, you will now have a knowlegdge of the religion and be able to explain why you don’t believe in an intellectual manner. If I had a chance to learn about another religion I would just for interest sake. Knowledge is a wonderful and powerful thing to have.
