Best Class of Fall Quarter: Revelation w/ Hans Klauck

This Fall I am taking a class that makes Bible nerds drool. We meet in the archives of U. Chicago's Regenstein library to hover over an illuminated Greek manuscript of Revelation called the "Elizabeth Day McCormick Apocalypse." The first day of class I walked into the archives and I had to sign in for security purposes and I was not allowed to bring anything into our classroom except my laptop and a pencil. Awesome! You know class is going to be good when you have to go through security. Nevertheless, the manuscript sits under a video camera in the ceiling and is projected onto a big flatscreen television. We are using Beale's commentary, however, we have the option to use Aune.
