Roger Nam, Ph.D., is Professor of Hebrew Bible at Candler School of Theology/Emory University. His research interests include Ezra-Nehemiah, Northwest Semitics, diaspora studies, and ancient economies. He is the author of Portrayals of Economic Exchange in the Book of Kings (Brill, 2012) and The Theology of the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah (Cambridge University Press, 2023). He is presently working on two books: an Ezra-Nehemiah commentary for the Old Testament Library (Westminster John Knox) and The Economics of Diaspora (Oxford University Press).
Fantastic thoughts here.
I agree 100% with Roger. It falls on faculty to begin to ask questions that allow synthesis of their students thinking about the subject rather than details of the subject. Very encouraging.
I definitely think that this kind of system should be adopted in class, not certain subjects but in all of them. I mean, is there really a point of memorizing the “if and then’s” for the Right Angel Congruence Thm?
