I have 3 hours per session. I end up spending the first 8 weeks on chapters 1-8, week 9 on chapters 9-11 and week 10 on chapters 12-16. Not ideal, but the only way I can possibly cover some of the more important issues.Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853335292109719929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-75541888843289263252008-08-25T01:57:00.000-04:002008-08-25T01:57:00.000-04:00I have preached on Romans, but never run a course ...I have preached on Romans, but never run a course on it (apart from a one-session introduction at theological college) - but in terms of 1 Corinthians, my pattern would be similar to yours: I ran a semester-long unit at theological college on 1 Corinthians in the Greek, during which we covered only 8 chapters - and even then we seemed to be racing through it...<BR/><BR/>But when preaching through it at church, I covered it in 4 sessions, in order to try to communicate the big picture... and if I were to do it in evening classes at church, I'd do 4-6 sessions, using little/no Greek, and helping the people to appreciate the major movement of the letter. <BR/><BR/>I actually think that this 'big picture' stuff is often neglected at the seminary/exegetical/commentary level, which is a shame.Matthew R.
