Multiple Choice
These questions
will number 40 and will be on factual information taken from the lectures and
the text-books. Use your lecture
outlines to help you sort through the material in the texts. There will be no multiple choice questions
from material which was not covered in lecture.
Essays
The essays will
cover material we read for our discussions on Thursdays. The questions will be formulated based on
the reading guides that I have distributed in class. These include the reading guides on the Gospel of Mark (8), Acts
of the Apostles (9), Passion of Perpetua (10), Life of Antony (13), Eunapius
(14), and Augustine’s Confessions (15).
There will be no essay on Athenagoras and the Apologists (11) or
Socrates Ecclesiastical History (12).
I will offer a choice of four essays from which you will write two. This means that you should prepare at least
four topics to guarantee you will get a question you can handle.
