Understanding by Design & Problem-Based Learning

Here's material on facets of understanding that I worked with when developing my New Testament exegesis-teaching tool, Into the New Testament.

Here I describe the steps in problem-based learning.

 

Matthew

Here's a bibliography of resources for teaching and preaching the Gospel of Matthew.

Weblogs

Pilgrim Preaching is a blog specifically dedicated to "Keeping company with biblical texts and the people who hear and preach them." I write on lectionary texts here.

Balancing Pose is my life/work blog.

Into the New Testament

Into the New Testament is my 2003-04 sabbatical project, a web site to teach New Testament exegetical skills. It includes resource pages on nine different skills along with some problem-based learning problems for practicing those skills.
