For those students who want to extend their studies beyond the limits of this class, the following additional resources are available. Some are videos, others web sites devoted to specific topics relevant to this module. Chattanooga State students will need the library ID and password to access many of the videos.
- Look at Your Fish (Desiring God: Keep Looking by Jorge R. Canedo E.)
Jorge Canedo uses the story of Louis Agassiz as an illustration of the importance of reading and re-reading the Bible. In much the same way, we will be looking closely at the stories of myth, learning to see what the stories have to reveal.
