Knowledgable and enthusiastic. Offers a different perspective on some subjects and teaches some pretty deep doctrine. Gave good feedback on the research paper.

Term paper on topic of choice and final are the only grades. Grades like an English teacher, so don't take him if you haven't spoken English for 2 years. Very clear teacher with cool insights on religion. The class was fairly easy and enjoyable.

Must attend lectures, the tests are straight from stuff he says in class. Is an Ancient Languages guy, so talks about hebrew and stuff. Talks alot about the political and social things of the Book of Mormon. Interesting. Don't do honors, only difference is paper is 10 instead of 5 pages.

Don't fall asleep. It's hard to write essays about something you weren't awake for. (i mean don't fall asleep every day)

Such an amazing class. The professor is brilliant with Hebrew and ancient traditions. You learn a lot of in-depth information about the New Testament. Take good notes because the final is straight from the notes in class.

He knows his stuff. Seems like he has the whole semester of lectures memorized word for word in his head. Smart guy. Class was pretty easy and the lectures were facinating, although sometimes he was hard to follow. Take good notes and you'll do well in the class.

He is an amazing teacher who really knows his stuff. His assignments were pretty easy because he is, as he himslef says, lazy. He doesn't want to have to grade much so there is much that you have to do. Tha means you need to be sure you do everything well. A very good teacher. I highly recommend.

AMAZING! This guy knows about NT history and culture. He is funny, spiritual, and easy. He talks, we listen, don't skip class. He doesn't leave room for class discussion, but he has much better things to say than what a classmate would. There isn't a whole lot of work. Just a paper, but the man is strict on grammer and format. I recommend!

Fabulous lectures. Reasonable assignments. He really knows about Jewish and Greek culture (among others), which makes the class particularly interesting.

My favorite religion professor thus far. He teaches lots of useful material (without notes!) and not just what you can learn by picking up the NT manual. He has extensive knowledge of the language and history of the Bible. Lectures are intriguing. Take good notes. You'll use them on the open book/note tests.

Excellent teacher. This has been my favorite Religion class thus far. He teaches the context of the scriptures very well, and relates them to the Jewish culture surrounding them. Lots of interesting information. Recommended!

An excellent teacher

Loved him. I didn't fall asleep once. He's way interesting and the stuff he relates to the Book of Mormon is incredible. I highly recommend him.

Book of Mormon class..Very interesting lectures. Take REALLY detailed notes, though, because his tests are usually open book, open note and VERY detailed. They're usually just essays with no multiple choice and are based on class lectures. 5-page research report as well. Good class, not a big homework load. Highly recommend him!

Bro. Belnap is an amazing teacher! Not only did I learn more about the Book of Mormon than any Seminary class, but I learned how to effectively continue to study it! The paper isn't too long, just pick an interesting topic. And be sure to attend class so you can do well on the midterm and final! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS!

Real good.

This was the best religion classes I have taken here at BYU, I was interested in going to class. It is not a suday school class like some classes here.

This class was amaizing, I loved it.

Bro. Belnap is an awesome teacher. Although we only made it through Jacob in an entire semester, I can say that I know a heck of a lot about 1 Nephi-Jacob. Take very detailed notes, his tests are based solely off of class discussions so you need to be in class as well. Grades very fair. Tests are easy if you take notes. Overall was a great teacher

Bro. Belnap is a great teacher. Likes to digress, but lectures are interesting. Learned a lot from this class. Gives NO busywork (unlike some professors, who thats their whole life). If you take good notes and pay attention in class, and can write a 5+ page research paper over the semester, you'll do great.

Great lectures! Come to class, take detailed notes. All his tests are open note and open book and based off of his lectures. His assignments are a cinch, just do them.

I learned a lot on his class. He taught some major reoccuring themes and taught about the importance of the prespective of the authors. HOw it affects what they put in and wrote.

Bro. Belnap is an amazing and powerful teacher! I learned so much from his class- best class I have taken at BYU. Make sure to take detailed notes, not only for the tests, but for your benefit later on in life. You will learn so much from his knowledge and testimony of the scriptures.

His lectures are amazingly good. I never once got bored in his class. Not too hard either. Highly recommended.

Very good lecturer, doesn't assign busy work. 1 5-page paper, 1 midterm and the final. Midterm and paper require a lot of work but thats it, beside your old testament reading, which you don't really get tested on. Keep very good lecture notes.

this class was awesome. Brother Belnap knows his stuff. There is a 5 page research paper and the tests are essay, but the class is worth it.

Great teacher! One of the best professors I have had at BYU. I learned a lot in this class. Take detailed notes, and you will do fine. 1 paper, 2 tests, not really that hard, just take a lot of time. Great class!

Bro Belnap is awesome! I was really scared the first day of class because he made the class seem really intense... But I never thought I could learn so much from the New Testament!! I got an A.

I had Bro. Belnap for the Pearl of Great Price, and the class was amazing. By far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He taught really well, but you must go to class or you will have a very hard time with the tests (midterm & final).

Great teacher with great insights.

Brother Belnap is an incredible lecturer. So many new insights about politics and culture of BOM that you never think about. LIke someone else said, on the first day, he sounds way intense, but it's not too hard.

You have to work a bit for your grade, but I learned so much and did well in the class. GO TO CLASS (and take notes) and you will be well on your way. I LOVED Brother Belnap - he gave so many insights. I learned so much about the Old Testament and he was very good at explaining concepts that were a little difficult to understand.

Bro. Belnap is great! One research paper, two take home tests that you grade yourself. YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS to get a good grade! If you don't go to class, you will do poorly. Brother Belnap is great though and is really helpful!

I loved the class. Bro Belnap is an engaging teacher who delves into deep doctorine. it is definately not like seminary. He skips alot of the usual stuff and spends time on more obscure but very important info. Attend class and take good notes and you'll do well.

Bro. Belnap is incredible. You have to take good notes, but the lectures are so amazing that taking good notes isn't a problem. There's only one 6-page paper that is completely open-ended and he grades it very leniently. Also, both the tests are take home and if you go to class and take notes you'll do fine. I learned sooo much in this class.

Belnap is a wonderful teacher. His lectures are amazing and you learn well beyond the basic scope of the New Testament. The assignments and tests are fairly easy and they aren't much to worry about. Anyone that says the tests are hard just didn't go to class...that simple. I say this because he gives the answers to his exams during lecture.

Mostly rigid class schedule. He is kind of in-your-face, but doesn't ever say anything abrasive so it's easy to handle. Likes to talk about the Book of Mormon more literally, historically and doctrinally, as opposed to spiritually. He went out of his way to apologize to me about something that didn't even offend me. I learned so much.

Bro. Belnap is my favorite religion professor thus far. I have taken REL 122 and 211 from him. His class is not easy, but not so hard to where I felt consumed by it. It was enough to stretch me. His lectures are full of information about the scriptures that I have never realized before. Take a class from Bro. Belnap!

I took 211 and 212 from him. Lectures are interesting and insightful. Tests are based solely on lecture, but do your reading (it's just scriptures). The assignments aren't too bad, but take some work. He started doing outside readings for quizzes.Those kinda sucked, but didn't hurt the grade too much.You have to pay attention in class, but takeit!

Belnap is tight. His class is amazing and you will learn more from him than any other religion professor at BYU. His class is VERY fairly graded and any one who gets a bad grade DIDN'T GO TO CLASS. Take good notes and its a piece of cake!

I loved Brother Belnap's class. I was a little hesitant the first week or two, but i quickly got over that. He has this ability to draw you into his lectures, and leave you walking away astonished with what you've learned. Make sure you read all of the assigned chapters, and take goodnotes. This was my favorite class, and i hope to have him again.

best teacher i have ever had for ancient scriptures he reaaaally knows his stuff. very impressive

Really great professor. Readings for the reading quizzes were REALLY long essays or chapters from books and the questions were hard. Go to class or you'll have a lot of trouble with the exams.

The best teacher I've ever had, hands down. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you don't go, you won't do well on the tests. 2 tests -a midterm and final. 3 quizzes throughout the semester on sets of readings from the NT. One final paper - 5 pgs long. (I actually enjoyed writing it, and I usually hate writing papers.) TAKE THIS CLASS!

Among the finest religion professors I have ever had. I was so grateful to have his course because it made BYU religion credit worthwhile.

If you just take notes in class you will have the answers for the test. Very enjoyable class. I looked forward to it. You learn a lot as well.

Bro. Belnap is the most amazing professor ever. He takes common knowledge and ties into the gospel. His knowledge on the facsimilles was amazing. Anyone who takes his class and doesn't like it obviously wants a professor that will tell them to read their scriptures, say their prayers and they will go to heaven!!!!! Or your still at EFY

This man brought the scriptures to life, very funny and cares about his students.

Just the right amount of hardness. He stretches your mind the perfect amount without you going crazy. Blows your mind away with how he knows so much! Great guy. Recommend him to anyone who wants to actually learn something.

i love this class is my favorite!. if you are looking for a professor who really teaches and explains everything,then go with Dan Belnap

Prof. Belnap is awesome. He is immensely intelligent and has a unique view of the scriptures. 1 paper, 3 quizzes, a midterm and a final. That's all. Go to class and you'll be fine.

I never once left Professor Belnap's class without having felt the spirit really strongly. His class leaves you with a true testimony of who you are, and what your relationship with God can and should be. He's very knowledgeable, but he's more than willing to share what he knows,and cite all sources. Loved the class.... TAKE IT!

Great teacher. Easy class if you just pay attention. Tests are take home and easy if you pay attention in class. You grade your own tests. One paper to write three times. He is a tough grader on the papers but it will end up ok if you go talk to him about how to make it better. 3 quizzes to take on other readings but the quizzes arent hard :)

His lectures are interesting. With the paper it is a lot of work at times. His tests are a bit pointless, just regurgitation of your notes. He takes a very scholarly, exegetical approach to the scriptures. If you don't care to know what the word exegetical means, don't take the class.

Bro. Belnap is great. Extremely knowledgeable- a lot of his ideas go over my head but he is always willing to talk to you and explain. I see some people complaining about my paper, and I would be too had I not met with him at the very beginning about my thesis. Once he guided me to a good one, I had a pretty easy time writing the paper.

Wonderful teacher. This was a class that I never missed because I wanted to hear what he was teaching! Easy tests and paper is graded tough but you have plenty of time to work on it and he is very willing to help. Professor Belnap is very knowledgeable and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his classes.

Loved the class, but it was tough. Its totally based on writing. The essay is all of your grade, and the midterm and final are essay format. Easy to get a b+ or higher, but come to class and take good notes. He is a great professor

Dr. Belnap is amazing. He said the class would be hard and he was right. Fun class though, you learn so much about the New Testament. Dr. Belnap's explanations are fantastic, he does a great job. The class is fun. I recommend Dr. Belnap for New Testament.

Had a returned missionary Book of Mormon class - he had the best insights of any religion professor I ever had at BYU, hands down. He can be a little power-trippy and intense, though. Overall I really enjoyed his lectures.

If you're looking for an easy A, this isn't the class for you. Hard work.

His class is amazing!! He doesn't make the class easy but it is extremely interesting. I loved his class

Take super good notes on everything he says and take the paper seriously, and its not too hard. His tests come right from lecture. PGP was best religion class at BYU and I would take any class I could form him. Fast paced, but VERY good teacher,

He was a great teacher. ATTENDANCE IS MUST!!! Everything on his tests will be from in-class, and he almost takes everything verbatim, but they are such obscure details (that are actually really interesting & insightful to the scriptures) you can only get it from class. He helps you make connections that you would never make on your own. He Rocks!

I love Brother Belnap. He makes me feel the spirit and it makes my day. His essay isn't bad, he's very helpful, quizzes on readings are easy just memorization. The midterm was open note however, it was still tough. Take great notes!!! His insights are incredible and leave me in awe. Great guy, great professor.

I loved taking religion with Brother Belnap! He is easy to listen to and funny. Write down EVERYTHING he says and you will be fine. Tests are take home open note and open book. Research paper as well, but it's really not bad, I promise! I learned A LOT!! I loved going to the class. I would definitely recommend it! TAKE THE CLASS! You learn SO much!

Some people love Brother Belnap and some people hate him. He is my favorite religion teacher at BYU. Take him and never regret it. If it isn't a good fit though, find someone you enjoy.

Amazing teacher. He is funny, yet can conduct class with a solemnity rare to experience. He brought many insights into the Book of Mormon that I had never before pondered.

I'd advise you take another professor. The grading is quite difficult; an A isn't impossible but it's improbable. The midterm and final are based solely on his lectures and his pet theories, so TAKE VERY DETAILED NOTES. Read the scriptures before the final exam, because that is part of your grade (he doesn't tell you that beforehand)

Brother Belnap had some really cool insight. Tests are take home open book, so be sure to take good notes. There is one research paper that takes a while to do and there are quizzes that require you to do extra reading outside of the Book of Mormon. The final is another take home test (bring your syllabus to class the last day). Good class though.

Fabulous professor who really cares about his students and is extremely knowledgeable about the Pearl of Great Price. The paper was really tough but he ended up grading everyone very fairly at the end. I would recommend this class.

Professor Belnap knows this subject very well. Take very detailed notes of his class. I found the class to be very educational, I learned SO much and came away with a better perspective. He doesn't give his ideas as doctrine but lets you know what's his and what's doctrine. His tests are based on lectures, so if you don't take notes expect to fail.

Class was so bomb, because of Belnap. No expectations for class, but he made it my favorite. He makes you see the scriptures in a whole new way. Hilarious, smart, sarcastic, spiritual. Bonus points for reading. Super fair/easy grader (you grade your own tests). Take detailed notes, you'll want to anyway because lectures are so good. Take home tests

Fascinating and challenging. Take very detailed notes. He mentions examples in the text and scripture references. Write them down. Write everything down. Also, complete the reading before the final. This was the most challenging and fascinating religion class I have taken in my 4 years. Take detailed notes and you'll do great.

He is a great teacher and actually teaches what is written in text you are studying. I felt like I was learning something instead of just going to Sunday school.

Belnap is awesome! He really knows what he's talking about and has a lot of really good insight to the scriptures. His class does involve a lot more work than most religion classes, but so worth it. Attendence is a MUST. His midterm and final are directly from his lectures. Note taking is also a must. Write down everything he says.

Expect to take very detailed notes to do well. He really dives into the scriptures and is interesting, but the class is based on a very limited amount of points. If you don't do very well on one assignment, it will be hard to raise your grade. A little difficult, but worth the experience.

Go to class everyday, write down every word that comes out of his mouth, read the entire part of the Book of Mormon that is expected (part of final), and expect to write a tedious paper. The midterm and final is take home, open note, and you grade it. He is funny and entertaining, but somewhat prideful. Got an A, worth taking!

Fantastic lecturer! Class was super interesting, which was good cause you have to take really good notes. I procrastinated the paper until a couple days before but it was super easy with ebsco.

Dr. Belnap is absolutely terrific. His primary flaw is that his tests require you to reproduce pretty much exactly what he said in class, but the things he teaches are new, exciting, and profound. I learned new ways of looking at gospel principles that were deeply edifying. He is an academic and a scholar--a rare find in the religion department.

Harder than my Econ 110 class. Very good lecturer. Paper requirements are stringent. Take home tests are really hard. I did learn a lot about the Book of Mormon. This is more of a history class than a spiritual class. Really makes you think in a new paradigm about the Book of Mormon. Quizzes are hard. Grades really hard.

Prof. Belnap is FANTASTIC. I'm not academically inclined and I'm just getting through school so I can get a job, but Belnap was truly inspirational and helped me grow. Easily my favorite professor at BYU. Go to class and take notes or you'll fail the take home midterm and final. No meaningless busy work, just go to class to have your mind blown.

Huge paper that took a lot of time, but sooo worth it for his amazing lectures. Guaranteed mind blowing experiences for every class period. Take home tests were really long, but if you have the right note taking strategy they're not that bad. I learned more from this class than all religion course put together.

He doesn't ask any questions or involve students at all in the lectures so it's hard to stay focused. He gives lots of his theories on the BOM as if they were facts (and I don't find them convincing). Came late to class almost EVERY class period. Very knowledgeable but doesn't seem interested in students. Not a spiritual religion class.

He's a great teacher! it's insane how much he knows about the Book of Mormon. But overall a great class!

It is well worth it to take a class from Brother Belnap! His lectures are really interesting and he helps you see the scriptures in a new way. He talks super fast so sometimes it is hard to keep up with him, but overall an excellent professor! I felt like a tiny sponge trying to soak up a pail of knowledge!!!

Dr. Belnap is the greatest professor I have ever had at BYU. His insights into religious history and concepts is second to none. Every hour of class was captivating. His teaching has shaped the way I read the scriptures more than anyone else. I highly recommend any class he teaches.

I learned so much about the Book of Mormon from Brother Belnap. He focuses on the context of the scriptures, especially socio-economic-political implications. He requires a research paper, but gives plenty of resources and asks for an outline first, so it's not too bad. What you learn is definitely worth the work too.

If you have the opportunity to take a class from Professor Belnap, take it. He is knowledgeable, decisive, and most importantly, kind. If you have concerns about not just the class but your ability to follow through it to the end, talk to him. His insights into texts, back with credentials, is fascinating and it was a privilege to participate

Really difficult class b/c I didn't like the teaching style (sit and write every word he says) and b/c there are literally 9 grades in the class. Take-home open-note open-book midterm&final (not bad). Three reading quizzes and student evaluation (easy). Thesis, outline,&paper really difficult and graded hard. I wouldn't take him again.

Belnap's class was unlike any other class I took. There weren't many assignments, which meant not too much busy work. However, his lectures were amazing. His understanding of the Book of Mormon is so deep, and he could relate even the smallest details to life today. There is a paper, so make sure you know what he wants and you'll do fine.

Brother Belnap gives good assignments, you will not face busywork. Lectures are interesting and not afraid to follow implications of the text, while still maintaining purpose and thematic unity. If you have interest in a religion class that's academic and fulfilling, then take it from him. It's what religion classes ought to be at BYU.

Brother Belnap really cares about the individual student. He is academic, as well as spiritual, leading to a religion class that actually grows your testimony and your ability to defend the church, instead of just making it a "feel good" environment. He really takes his job seriously, and is committed to helping us understand.

Fantastic professor, really knows his stuff, he expects real academic work in terms of the paper and the tests, but sets the class up in a way that it really is in your control how well you do. The spiritual nourishment meets academic enlightenment of his classes is the best. Take good notes and all will be well.

Love Belnap! Only problem for me was the style of the midterm/final. They are essay format. I spent easily twice the amount of time finishing the midterm for Pearl of Great Price than any other of my classes. I regret nothing, and highly recommend taking this class.

The best religion lecturer I have ever had. Absolutely incredible classes. If you really want to understand the Pearl of Great Price, he is the professor for you. Not much homework, just one paper that he grades very strictly. If you are looking for an incredible teacher and doctrine to amaze your friends and enjoy writing, look no further.

Professor Belnap has a lot of amazing insights into the Pearl of Great Price and his class was super interesting/engaging. There are only a few assignments, which means each one is worth a lot of points, but they are spread out so that they are totally doable.

Best religion professor I have had yet and I have had many. If you are looking for the easy blow off BOM class, this is not it. Fantastic lectures and extremely informative. One paper that you work on throughout the semester, so it is not that bad. Two written take home tests that are open note and open book. Grades like a college professor.

One of the best religion professors in BYU. His approach to scriptures are unique and inspirational. The take home exam and midterms are also pretty easy if you listen in class. He is also not a harsh grader on paper. He understands scriptures like no one else and you can always feel the Spirit. I would definitely take another class from him.

Classes are almost entirely listening to him lecture, but that's because he's got lots of stuff to share and I didn't really mind it. I even recommended sitting in on the class to my boss at the university. A lot of his test questions are lecture based, but he lets you use notes. Your grade is a research paper, three quizzes, midterm, and final.

Bro. Belnap is fantastic. He stretched my brain and made me think in ways I didn't know I could. However, I would never take this class from him again. The scriptural analysis in this class is 90% scholarly minutia and 10% relevant and applicable doctrine. Unless you're planning a career in seminary and institute teaching, take someone else.

He has been my favorite religion professor. If you are looking for someone with deep knowledge of the scriptures, look no further, especially if you want to learn the mind blowing doctrines. He lectures the entire time, but it is fantastic information. On the final paper, just follow the rubric and you will do fine.

If you learn a lot by listening to lectures, you will do really well in class. Absolutely no busywork, just a few papers and two tests. Dr. Belnap is one of the professors that wants you to learn how to think about something as opposed to just telling you what to think. I loved learning about Isaiah with him!

Very interesting Book of Mormon class. I learned a lot of insight on seeing the Book of Mormon from a Nephite perspective. Not my most spiritual and testimony building class, but I learned a lot about Nephite religion and the Book of Mormon. If you pay attention in class and take good notes the tests are a piece of cake.

Brother Belnap approaches the Book of Mormon in highly academic lectures. His lectures were mind-blowing me, and I wouldn't miss a day of class. His class consists of three essays, a final and midterm. You grade yourself on the final and midterm, and the essays can be resubmitted until you get an A. Overall very interesting and engaging class.

Very unique but inspirational man. Very intellegent, but not the most organized. Learned a lot from his class, just make sure to take a lot of good notes for the midterm and final. Great class that wasn't too overwhelming for a religious class.

He is THE best!!! Classes are really fun and spiritual. Although attendance isnt required make sure you have class notes. A couple homework quizzes and couple of papers you can resubmit as many times you want

So enjoyable, I looked forward to his class everyday. He gives you a really beneficial and new perspective on the scriptures and helps you understand them in a new light. He's super funny and understanding. He's really accommodating, especially if you have mental issues as long as you tell him up front.

There were lots of readings, but they were good and relevant. You have to work hard and really study up even though the midterm is open book, but he's a great guy with a good sense of humor and you'll learn a lot and enjoy yourself.

There are 3 quizzes, 2 take-home tests, and 3 short papers. He does not use PowerPoint. So, you have to type down everything he says in lecture to do well on the tests. If you try your best, you can get an A in this class. Dr. Belnap is so smart. He is very theatrical so his lectures are really fun/engaging. He teaches doctrine well. Great teacher!

I have taken two courses from Bro. Belnap. It has been amazing. He has a class that focuses much more on comprehension than memorization. The midterms are actually fun take home exams that are open book and note. Just take good notes in class and enjoy the ride. You can easily get an A if you just revise your essays and take time to do the test. :)

Brother Belnap is so knowledgeable and is very willing to share that knowledge. Readings due daily. Only 2 papers and a take home midterm and final that are open note. Only lectures, no Powerpoint. You will learn so much about the Savior and the scriptures in this class. I left each class feeling inspired. Great class!!

Dr. Belnap is THE Professor for REL 250. He taught many of the LDS Apostles. He knows what he is teaching and LOVEs his job. He will go the extra mile to make sure you understand what the scripture is really saying regarding the lesson. He gives clear feed back and unlimited time to resubmit your assignment for a better grade. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bro. Belnap is an awesome professor! The biggest advice I would give to someone who takes his class is to take thorough notes. There are only two exams and then two other assignments. All are doable, but you have to put in the work. He expects you to do the readings from the scriptures and the Digital Dialogue questions before every class.

I didn't really like Bro. Belnap's teaching style at first, but I loved this class! He gave so many great insights to the scriptures that I had never heard before. Be sure to be in class to take good notes because your midterm and final will depend on it. Only two assignments but daily readings and digital dialogue.

Belnap is kind of a character. He takes some getting used to, but he is a smart guy and has engaging lectures. In his class, it's important to take lots of notes and mark down references. However, he gives a lot chances for a student to get a good grade, as long as they are willing to keep trying.

Loved it! Belnap is so passionate of what he teaches which makes coming to class so much fun. Although he does as a lot of questions during lectures and expects responses, he will never call a student out on giving the wrong answer, he accepts every answer. He teaches exactly what's on his tests so attendance is key but the tests aren't difficult

Brother Belnap was my favorite religion professor Ive had at BYU & Christ & the Everlasting Gospel was my favorite religion course. I loved coming to class everyday (not like me at all) & he had a perfect balance with intellectually & spiritually stimulating lessons without making the course difficult. 10/10 would recommend

How to get an A: 1. don't do readings. 100+ pages each, he tells you the 3 things that will be on the quiz. Ctrl F those topics before the quiz, I averaged 9/10. I never read. 2. Write down EVERY SCRIPTURE he says and his interpretation of it. 100% of test questions come from this. 3. 3 papers. Can resubmit until 100% Loved him! Will take again!

This dude sounds like Mr. Bigweld from Robots which is my favorite part of all his lectures. He makes learning about Christ SO interesting and really views the gospel from a deep philosophical view. I really loved this class. He really cares about his students and will work with you if you need extra help. Do the discussion posts and u r good.

Very focused on academic side of the scriptures. Everting in lecture is his opinions. Doesnt take the time to grade midterms. Pretty much the bad side of the BYU religion department

Super easy. Midterm was self graded, and so was the final. Weekly discussion boards, but thats it.

Hands down favorite religion professor at BYU. His lectures are incredible--never boring, always enlightening, entertaining. Some assignments, the midterm and final are a little hard-hitting and heavy intellectually, but it is so worth it. (essay response, open book/take home midterm & final; --take notes during lecture and you're totally set!)

Loved the class. The ones that rate my man low just don't like to think, and are the most likely to say that the gospel is very simple when it's not. Ya, class is hard, it's the Pearl of Great Price, intelligence (wink) comes at a price. He tells you that his class will be very academic before the add-drop deadline so you can switch if you want.

Professor Belnap is an amazing professor with a very scholarly approach to the scriptures. He knows his stuff and loooooves to share it with you! He is hysterical and literally WILL NOT put you to sleep. He is very kind with grading and will allow you to submit corrections over and over. If you don't get an A, it's kind of your own fault.

Seriously slay take this class with him, just take notes

Brother Belnap knows what he's talking about. He is hilarious. His lectures are sometimes boring... but if you pay attention you'll get a lot out of it and see the Book of Mormon in a new way.

Professor Belnap is an awesome guy, super inspiring lectures and teaches the BoM in a really interesting new way. Learned everyone's names in probably the first week and a half. Also an easy professor to take 275 from, the workload was really light.

He is super nice and his lectures are fun! He goes a little into more of what he thinks doctrine is but it is still fun. Super easy to get an A. The one thing that bothered me is he makes you grade your own exams. Even the final. So just be prepared for an hour and a half video of him telling you how to grade yourself

Great lectures, especially on the cultural background of the Book of Mormon. Not very many actual assignments except for the final project and some weekly online "group discussions". Would recommend.

Brother Belnap is my favorite professor I have had at BYU! He is super caring about all of his students, but you need to show up to class. The only way to get the material is listening to his lectures. There were a few exams that were **self-graded** and related directly to what he lectured on. 100% take a class from Brother Belnap!!! (I am!)

It's been a while since I've taken a religion class I truly liked, but this class was that for me. I would say his interpretations probably aren't confirmed doctrine, but he connects everything to doctrine and principles that we believe in. He's an engaging lecturer for the full hour and definitely gets excited over teaching, which is fun to see.

Christ and His Everlasting Gospel has so much information and doctrine to learn in such a short amount of time, and Brother Belnap goes about it wonderfully. He is very engaging and willing to answer any questions the students have (which are many). There are 2 weekly assignments (simple) and a few quizzes that are fine as long as you go to class.

Some things I learned about Brother Belnap: 1. He isn't going to coddle you. 2. He might entertain you. 3. His class is not a testimony meeting. 4. He will do a deep dive on any number of religious topics. 5. He knows more than you do. 6. Er ist von Frau Schnee, Babsi und Wolfgang anerkannt.

Professor Belnap makes the lectures engaging, but his scholarly approach can get a bit specific. The workload is light, and unstuck study was great for exam prep.

Attending class is a must, for the UNIV 101 class he gave us a ton of work to do outside along with a huge scavenger hunt across campus which took a long time, but is inspirational and you learn a LOT

He's a really great professor, you just have to do the reading and go to class to do well. Tests are self graded but take a few hours to complete and are kind of difficult. He's really nice but isn't super accommodating for students when it comes to confusion about assignments. Like just not flexible about a lot.

He really knows his stuff and proves it in his lectures. He really dives deep into doctrine of Christ and makes us think deeply. His exams were pretty tough but if you paid attention in his lectures and take good notes you'll be fine. All his quizzes and exams are open book/open note so make sure you take good ones!!

Take any class from this guy. He taught and interesting class and was super easy. I think his religion class has been my easiest at BYU. He is very nice and had some super amazing insights to share.

Really great lecturer, super engaging, all of our exams were online, self-graded, and the final project was super fun and easy. Highly recommend taking New Testament from him.

He made the grading criteria very clear and straightforward. There was a good amount of reading, but nothing too difficult, and his lectures made it all very interesting. For a religion class, the focus tended to be more on learning the material than feeling the Spirit, but I still felt the Spirit on multiple occasions. Highly recommend.

He was frequently late to class, but I thought his lectures were phenomenal. At least for the BOM, he's one of the easier professors. HOWEVER, you MUST take notes on EVERYTHING HE SAYS if you want to get a good grade on the tests. I'm not talking about just general ideas, I mean literally everything. ALSO, write down every scripture read in class.

Everything is basically self graded, attendance, midterms, final exam, etc. Everything is online and open note. Didn't love his lecture style, but found the midterms manageable nevertheless. He is so understanding and willing to work with his students.
