ALPS PowerPoint Slides
(For class use only, not to be distributed.)
May 2020 COS 221: Bible II
I will try to post some pre-class slides in case you want to print them out before class to help with note taking.
[Note: In PowerPoint, you have several print options (e.g. 6 slides per page).
For Day 1, I have included various slides on background issues that I will probably not cover, but you may read if interested.
After each class, I will post all of the slides in case you want to refer back to some of them. (Again, I might cover them all in class. Feel free to ask about any slides that I did not cover.)
