Matt Jones' Random Acts of Verbiage

I am finally done with my second semester at Regent! The last few weeks have been consumed with finals and my Exegesis paper. The images show what my life has consisted of especially these last few days (I think I used almost every one of those books, plus numerous articles and copies, in the paper!).

My final paper in Rikk Watts' Biblical Interpretation was on 1 Peter 2.24 and 25. I disucssed how Peter used the suffering servant imagery in Isaiah 53 to encourage Christians to persevere through suffering and persecution.

If you would like to read the paper, click here for more information than you could ever want to know about 1 Peter 2.24-25 and the Suffering Servant in Isaiah. (PDF format, 113KB) If you happen to read it, I would love to hear your comments on the paper. I think it turned out ok for my first exegesis paper but I feel like I repeated myself unnecessarily in a few places, I guess I will see how it goes.

Now I need to figure out what to pack!

Shalom
