He seems a nice professor and I wanna take his classes. I’m giving him a 5 star bc it is my wish to take his classes
Prof. Kingsley is a great lecturer, and he cares a lot about his students. He will do everything he can to help you get a good grade.
He's great. He keeps with good humor, which is especially nice for a night class. He tells us a lot of tidbits like significant meanings of certain words or what names translate to, showing us how layered the Bible is.
He is truly a fantastic teacher
Taking Old Testament Survey II with Professor Kingsley is great to continue on studying the Old Testament. With memorable analogies and convicting studies on passages, it's clear that he is very knowledgeable and is able to communicate that knowledge to his students.
Jared is really easy to listen to especially when reading the Old Testament. He brings life experiences and connects them to certain ideas OT books. He grades very fairly, he will let you know the things that are on the quizzes and gives a great study guide so there is no excuse for not doing well in the class, as long as you do your part
I like how he keeps the class engaged in a variety of methods that will help you enjoy it as well. I had a wonderful time learning from him even though it was my first time taking his class! I recommend signing up for his classes since you will not only have a greater understanding of the Bible but also probably love learning it from him.
Kingsley is a pretty cool dude
Professor Kingsley is passionate about the subject and cares for the students and wants them to share his passion for the subject. He is very approachable and encourages questions.
Kingsley is great! He loves God's word and his fascination with the Old Testament is contagious. His class is easy to pass and he makes all the test and papers as easy as possible to do well on. If you pay attention to him screaming out the test answers and write them down you will likely get an A in this class.
Amazing, love this professor. Not only is he entertaining, but he is also serious about God's word, so good balance, love! To get a good grade in class is to be there and not jump out of his half-quarter Japanese arms, and you will be good! :) The textbook is the Bible! Assignments include papers (they help further push understanding).
Old Testament II with Professor Kingsley was a very enjoyable class because of the enthusiastic, down-to-business, and fun attitude that he carried with him into every class. He was very focused on the material that needed to get covered but would occasionally crack some jokes, which I appreciated along with the rest of the class.
Prof. Kingsley is so fun! I took a night class with him, and he's one of the few professors I could sit through three hours of. He has us do a few easy papers a semester (he literally gives us all the answers on what to write about) and quizzes every class (also easy). His lectures are very funny and he offers a TON of extra credit opportunities.
Great job Prof Kingsley!!! I always enjoy class!!
I would recommend Professor Kingsley for Old Testament 1/2 while your time at Masters. He's very interactive with his students and he's easy to track with. He's very generous with his extra credit and He gives you all the answers basically so it's just up to you whether you're willing to do the work or not.
Kingsley is one of the most impactful professors I have had at TMU because I learned so much about the Old Testament and about life in his class. I would highly recommend taking at least one of his classes.
Professor Kingsley teaches you in a way that is captivating and informative. The only effort you truly need to put in his class is entering your work on time and write the few things he tells you to write (because he'll quiz you) If you can easily do that, than you will pass this class with ease, because he's easy to learn from and he is punctual.
Very easygoing guy with a heart for the Lord who truly loves his students.
I love this class and this professor! Doesn't get any better and I learned so much. Also the work amount I think is perfect.
Hebrew was one of my favourite classes because the instructor was so funny and so fire. 💯 would take him again.
He's amazing! this class was so great and was a fun class where i learned a ton!
DO NOT STOP WORKING ON VERBS you will not do well if you stop studying and practicing the grammar and vocab. He wants you to do well so if you put in the work you will love the class. Also negotiate extra credit as much as you can he will most likely give it to you.
This was such an amazing class and I would highly recommend!! It was so cool looking at Scripture in its original language. I learned so much from his lectures and he really does help you learn the language.
Prof Kingsley will show you that you can't just rely on the LSB!
Prof Kingsley is a godly guy who genuinely loves the Lord and loves his Bible. He does a fantastic job clearly communicating the requirements of the class, and is gracious in his grading and extra credit. He pushes you to learn but helps you through the entire process. He has a fun time doing what he loves, and makes it fun for everyone else.
Great and fun professor!
He cares about you first and will encourage you to do your best regardless of your grade. I have developed much respect for Prof Kingsley.
I have never sat under someone so gifted at engaging even the least motivated students, regardless of the subject matter.
Prof. Kingsley is a fantastic teacher and cares so well for his students! His classes truly are low stress, HIGH learning. If you have an opportunity to take Intermediate Hebrew with him, do it! You will learn SO much!
Super awesome lectures, but the quizes and exams do require study. Heavy homework in that you have to do Hebrew every day.
Professor Kingsley makes every lecture so much fun and truly takes the time to help each student comprehend the material. Learning Hebrew seemed very overwhelming in the beginning, but taking it with Dr. Kingsley has helped me grow confident in how i study the language and enjoyed translating the Word of God together in class.
Professor Kingsley genuinely cares for his students. He makes class enjoyable and you not only learn a lot through studying the language but through the class discussion. He allows plenty of space for questions and discussion, so the lectures are never boring and always entertaining.
Prof Kingsley really sets you up for success! However, you really have to put in the work & listen to what he says. Don't skip on daily Hebrew, or cram your vocab. It does make a difference. Even though learning a language is hard, Kingsley's exegesis as we translated, was so encouraging and helped me to be motivated to learn! He's the best!!
What a guy. Thanks, Prof. for making me nervous for class every day, but so excited to learn at the same time. I will always remember your teaching.
Professor Kingsley did an amazing job of explaining Hebrew in a fun and easy way. He taught a dead language, and somehow, in 9 months, I am able to read and understand some things. He is very fun and cares about his students and that they will use their skills to serve God better.
Really fun teaching style, clear and relevant, and he engages with every student. Prof. Kingsley requires participation because it's necessary to learn—and learn we did, even if it was hard! Very grateful to be a part of his class, 10/10 would take him again.
Listen, and you'll do just fine. He wants you to succeed. You'll have fun in the lectures, and the work is clear. He really cares about what he's teaching--he's excited about the subject, so it won't be a dull class. He teaches in such a way that you'll remember what you learned
He's very enthusiastic.
Great learning environment with a teacher who really does understand and believe the material he teaches!
Kingsley is a God-fearing and smart professor. He knows a LOT about the material and makes it easy to understand.
He's great and I learned a lot!
Professor Kingsley's teaching style is clear and concise. It has been a joy to sit in his class and learn more about the Old Testament. I appreciate how he makes everything clear. He gives us everything we need to know about tests and quizzes.
Kingsley is amazing, if you make it through Master's without taking him you are crazy
He gets you engaged with the text and instills an interest to learn more about God through His word
Kingsley is a great prof who makes learning about the Old Testament fun!
Kingsley is great!! His way of lecturing helps you really retain information and grow in your love for the Word of God! The papers are very doable and help you deepen your understanding of the books of the Bible you're reading. The Old Testament is intimidating to learn about but Kingsley makes it very digestible and super engaging!
Jared is a great professor who cares about his students. He's very by the books, but that's a great thing in a Bible class. I loved both of his Old Testament classes, and learned a lot from his teaching style. His lectures are great and they really get to the point. He teaches with emotion and relates to the students, making it easy to learn.
Kingsley is genuinely the best professor I have ever had, and is easily one of the best professors on campus. OT1 and OT2 have been amazing, I wish he taught more classes on campus. Kingsley? DAWG.
Professor Kingsley is one of my favorites! He is very engaging and clear when he is lecturing.
Kingsley teaches in a fun and entertaining way, which makes it easy to listen and participate in class. It's also amazing how he explains the Bible.
Awesome class! I've learned so much about the Old Testament.
Professor Kingsley articulated a clear understanding of the course material, and inspired the class to learn! I learned so much from this Bible Course, and grew in my respect and appreciation for the Old Testament. Seeing how Messianic prophesy has been sprinkled throughout the Old Testament has been the greatest. Highly recommend this course!
Prof. Kingsley is amazing! He has such extensive knowledge of God's word and walked us through the Old Testament so thoroughly. I learned so much; this class transformed the way I see the Bible and the story of redemption history!
Great prof
Kingsley is a great professor and is engaging for the whole class period. Just pay attention in class and you will be set for the course. WEEWOOO
Professor Kingsley is a great professor with a truly deep wealth of knowledge regarding the bible and is a great communicator by keeping lectures entertaining. He displays a great passion for the word of God that flows into his teaching and students.
Kingsley is a super fun professor. The class is very interactive and engaging, and the note packets make it easy to learn from the lecture. The homework, tests, and quizzes are not too hard, and you'll actually learn material instead of just memorizing things.
He makes it easy to know what's necessary for the test but in exchange expects attendance.
He is a kind but fair teacher and all though he looks like a mean teacher he is really nice and cares about you and what you have to say
Amazing Professor and very knowledgeable when it comes to the Bible. He makes it so fun but it's also so fun to learn what he is teaching. Great class.
He's a great professor
Kingsley is a great teacher, who makes the class fun and enjoyable, while also clearly explaining the course material.
super engaging and enthusiastic - love his personal stories
Highly recommend this class; I would definitely take him again. You can learn a lot without actually having to do a lot of busy work outside of class
This professor has quickly become my favorite professor of the semester. While the work load is relatively light, he puts a great emphasis on integrity in his class. Additionally, the way the class is structured in a way that even though it of little stress in your schedule, you learn every bit of content and can apply it to your life.
Packed in so much Bible information, super engaging and impactful
Kingsley is honestly one of the best Bible professors on campus. I would definitely recommend that you take his classes if you have the opportunity to.
Kingsley is by far one of the best professors to take for a bible class at TMU! He is interactive with students in his lectures, makes learning the Old Testament enjoyable, is straight forward with what he expects from his students, and really cares that students have success in his class. 100% recommend!
Prof. Kingsley has a great grasp on the subject and communicates it compellingly and effectively! I have learned a ton from this class and am glad I took it.
Presents topics in clear and concise manner. Makes course subjects easy for remembering and retaining information.
Took prof. Kingsley for OT 2. Great class, and not a lot of work. I learned a lot, and genuinely enjoyed class. Totally recommend!
Literally so unfortunate that Prof. Kingsley doesn't teach New Testament Survey, otherwise I would take him for every. single. bible. class. Genuinley he is such a a passionate and wise teacher on the subject of the Old Testament, and I will never stop recommending his classes to everyone. The greatest class I am taking this semester by far!
great prof highly recommend
I love Prof Kingsley so much! He is hilarious, kind, and honestly one of the best profs. His lectures are so entertaining, and he literally gives you all of the answers to quizzes, papers, and midterm/finals. As long as you take good notes, and pay attention, it's hard not to get an A! If you get a chance to take Prof Kingsley, do it!
Dr. Kingsley is hilarious but knows his stuff. He always bases everything he teaches on the Word of God which makes the class very truthful and funny at the same time.
Professor Kingsley is a very fun, knowledgeable, and high energy professor. He loves class participation and drawing pictures. However, he can be very serious when appropriate and he knows the material like no other. Very easy yet beneficial class.
The professor is expetionally professional and has an easy to understand teaching style. His lectures are easy to follow along and he points out the most important points that will be on the tests and papers.

Professor Kingsley is very enthusiastic, engaging, and funny. He is always prepared for class and intentionally gives answers to quizzes in class. He has extensive knowledge about both Old Testament history and Hebrew that support each other well, and he makes even the most difficult passages easy to understand. One of the easiest classes ever!
This professor is good, and the content is good. The time to complete your reading is insufficient, and means you will not take in much of what is being taught.
Great professor, who cares about his students and taking the time to answer questions during each lecture. Explains the material and assignments clearly, and makes the class easy if the students put in the work.
Prof Kingsley is amazing and totally awesome and he is super cool and you should take him because he's one of the best. Class is chill, read your bible and take good notes. You'll have your mind blown. k-bye
Great professor and really fun! Learned a lot.
Kingsley is an amazing professor who knows his stuff. Do the work and you'll do just fine. His quizzes are word-for-word phrases and key-words given in class. He gives you the key points for the papers and as long as you include those, you're good.
He is one of the best professors I've ever had. He cares about each student, he cares about getting everyone good grades, he makes it a priority to have you actually learn in his classes, and he's one of the funniest guys I've ever met.
He's a great Prof. really funny explains the material very well in an entertaining way that keeps you engaged very kind and accommodating and willing to listen to all of your questions and give feedback overall, a great Prof. I wouldn't jump out of his quarter Japanese arms.
Kingsley is the best prof ever- he knows the material extremely well and wants you to learn with the least stress possible.
He is the goat
Prof Kingsley made the Old Testament interesting. I feel like I learned so much about the Bible and about life in this class. The grading system was clear, there was plenty of opportunity for extra credit, but he still covered a massive amount of material and helped us to learn it and apply it to our lives.
His teaching style is very clear and easy to follow, he does move quickly, but this is a survey class so he doesn't really have a choice. He is hilarious and gives very engaging lectures. Easy A!!! Take the class!

Kingsley provides the energy and joy that I would hope to see from someone who studies and teaches the Bible for a living. He is engaging and I learned a ton in his Old Testament 2 class.
Very knowledgable. A relaxed teaching style but engaging and regularly humorous. Able to show the significance of what we're learning and make the learning a positive experience. Note: the above grade is my current grade - I'm hoping it'll be higher by the end of the semester.

Prof. Kingsley is an excellent teacher, he explains everything super clearly. We go deep into the text, and we quiz on reading. It makes the course incredibly fun.
great teacher helped me learn so much
Best professor on campus by far. He enjoys what he's teaching and is excited about it, makes it interesting rather than just a history lesson, gives the answers out for the quizzes, and gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. main hw assignments are reading the bible and 2-3 papers, gives answers for the exam too.
Very easy grader and teacher. Very enjoyable class. Is an easy A if you pay attention. You get a lot out of the class in terms of OT knowledge.
He is awesome. Take as many notes as you can.

Kingsley's motto for his class is "high learning, low stress," and he directs the class towards this goal very effectively. He very clearly presents all of the information that will be on his quizzes and exams, and is a very personable and engaging lecturer. I learned a lot of information and gained a lot of new insight with little to no stress.
Professor Kingsley is one of the best at Master's. His lectures are clear, easy to follow, and packed with knowledge. Assignments are straightforward, quizzes and exams are exactly what he reviews in class, and he's always available for questions. Highly recommend!

Would recommend this professor! Learned so much!
Kingsley is a great professor with realistic expectations for his students. He gives good lectures, he is engaging during the lectures and he is knowledgeable on the OT as a whole.
This class was so amazing! I learned how to read certain passages of the Old Testament in Hebrew and it changed how I study God's Word! I would definitely take BL411 and BL412 if my degree path allowed for it.
Strict guidelines but very easy and clear. If you fail it's your own fault. Just do the work and you're all set! He's is also super funny and you learn so so so much!!
He is an amazing person and love the Lord and it is shown through how he teaches.

Professor Jared Kingsley's ability to teach and convey the material needed to know for the class is excellent.

Kingsley was a super good and fun professor. The lectures are super engaging. I took the night class and it was optimal.
Super entertaining professor! Had a night class with him, and he was probably the best professor to have for a night class because of how energetic, interesting, and quick he was. Expectations for the class are not that high, but they are SUPER clear and straightforward. Don't turn in anything after 11:55:00, though, it's -50%
Take Kingsley. Fun class, fun lectures, fun professor. Learned so much as well!
This man's class is what got me through the week of engineering classes. 10/10 would take again.
Jared Kingsly is a very professional professor. Including in his abilities, teaching style, ability to convey the materia clearly, and in lecturing very well. He uses great speach and very good indicators in saying what to write down. All material given is clear and concise.
Dr. Kingsley is one of my favorite professors. He is incredibly knowledgable and is faithful in teaching what is required for the course in a way that is both interesting and compelling. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning under him.
Really really funny. Loves sharing stories. Gives all the quiz answers in class. As long as you attend the classes and write in the note packet he gives you, you'll be fine.

Professor Kingsley's lectures were very engaging, and he made the class very enjoyable!
Professor Kingsley is an engaging, memorable, and thoughtful professor. The structure of his class makes the time fly and his illustrations and memory aids help the material stick. He also encourages you to think deeply about Scripture and not just skim the text. I would definitely recommend Professor Kingsley!

I was supposed to take this class in Ibex, but I ended up not going to Ibex. I am super thankful I took this class with Kingsley.

Such a fun professor and nerd in all the good ways.
Very knowledgeable and funny professor
Professor Kingsley was awesome! Definitely will have him again! I grew immensely in my knowledge of the Old Testament and in my love for the word in this class! He is hilarious, which keeps all of us awake during the night class, and he teaches extremely well! Highly recommend.
Dr. Kingsley is genuinely one of the best professors I've had. His passion for the Old Testament made the class come alive, and he explained each book in a way that was clear, engaging, and easy to follow. I looked forward to every lecture because he made learning Scripture both exciting and meaningful. I'm really grateful to be in his class.
Kingsley is great! His teaching is incredible and he helps students succeed. However, learning Hebrew mostly depends on the student. If you don't do homework and your 30 mins of Hebrew everyday (which is required for class) then you will not do well (I can say this because I was lazy and failed the first time). This time, I passed with an A!
We love Dr. Kingsley he is an amazing professor!
Great class! Easy and engaging.
I love Dr Kingsley. He's the reason I decided to take Hebrew over Greek. I have learned so much from him over this semester that I would've never thought I would get to but because he cares and he takes the time for his students I was able to succeed.
This is the best professor on campus. He cradles you through Hebrew, trying to help you understand the word of God. His character really reflects the spirit of Christ.
Super helpful
A very thourough and engaging prof, fun and passionate about the material and a good teacher, personable
Dr. Kingsley is a very good professor. He makes class fun and very easy to learn.
Prof Kingsley is really good at helping us thoroughly understand how Hebrew is translated, understood, and used.
Great guy!
Great professor. Makes learning a language enjoyable and you actually learn. Homework due 2 times a week. Usually takes 30min or less. Also 30 min of required daily Hebrew for both semesters but gives lots of extra credit for them if you miss some.
He is awesome
Perfect. What else is there to say?
One of The best teachers at TMU for sure
Doctor Kingsley is very talented at making a complex subject attainable and clear to understand. He is also very energetic and engaging, which makes it much easier to learn! The assignments given in class were very doable, and helpful.
Dr. Kingsley is an amazing professor who will keep you engaged and motivated throughout the semester. Lectures are fun and interesting, while still being challenging. He is everyone's favorite professor at TMU and will work with students to help them succeed.

JARED KINGSLEY IS GREAT
He makes complex Hebrew material easy to understand in a fun and engaging way!
Kingsley makes learning an ancient biblical language so much fun and so worth all the work. He believes in his students' ability to learn, which is more helpful than almost anything. And he's friendly and laid back, all around a great prof and not hard to pass
Professor Kingsley allows students to grow and learn while still enjoying work. He makes students engaged while still teaching the subject intricately.
He teaches Hebrew very well, just be ready to grind the homework. Daily Hebrew is very important, don't neglect it!!
He was a great professor and really helped along the way with a difficult course!
Dr. Kingsley is a young professor whose unorthodox yet effective playfulness blends philological instruction with relatable humour, turning a difficult discipline into an accessible, engaging study of the Old Testament's language. I extend to you my sincere gratitude brother.
literally the best bible prof at tmu need to take
I love this guy, makes reading and studying the Bible very fun.
Kingsley is my absolute favorite professor, he is so much fun and teaches in a way that really makes you understand what you're leaning and also makes the learning really enjoyable. His deep understanding of the scripture and ability to convey all of that information to his students without watering anything down is amazing and I love him.
Dr. Kingsley has a great sense of humor, grades very graciously, and is one of the best Bible teachers I have heard.
Love this guy.
Amazing loved the class
Professor Kingsley is great, he knows a ton about the Bible and is very engaging. I wish I could take him for every Bible class. Highly recommend asking him questions about almost any passage of the Bible. He's very kind, funny, and has been my favourite professor here at TMU so far.
Kingsley is The GOAT
I loved taking his class. His lecture were engaging and fun but also had a depth of content. I learned so much and had a blast.
Loved taking this class! Super fun, and lively
Prof. Kingsley is a great teacher!!! He makes it fun to learn but ultimately involves Christ in all areas of the class!
Loved taking this class. Quizzes every week but he tells you the (almost) exact questions he is going to quiz you on. you get to read and go through in depth from Genesis through 2 Samuel throughout the class. He is hilarious and makes it super fun.
His class is one of the best I've taken. Hilarious. Highly recommend
Prof Kingsley is an absolutely fantastic Professor and I think every person should take a class with him in their time at TMU. Not only is he sharpening us in God's word, but his teaching methods make me want to listen and learn. His weekly quizzes help me retain all the OT information. He is so fun, interactive, and so knowledgeable! 10/10 Prof!!!
Prof. Kingsley is one of my favorite teachers here at TMU. His lectures are so rich and good and delivers it in a way that helps me learn more about the Word. His jokes are actually good, he's always looking for a way to make us laugh, but lets us know when to lock in.
He is an excellent teacher and explains the concepts we learn in class clearly and thoroughly. He ensures that we are well prepared for every quiz, exam, or class assignment. I would definitely take another of his classes.
Dr. Kingsley is amazing! I have learned a lot in this class and love his teaching method. It's the perfect combination of not being too easy and lots of good material, but also not stressful or too hard.
I have absolutely loved OT survey 1! The lectures have taught me so much that I did not know before. The class is extremely doable and I would take it again in a heartbeat.
The best Bible prof out there. Super chill and gives hilarious lectures. He has so much passion about his subject and makes his classes really engaging. His grading is not only clear, but also very gracious. He tells you exactly what you need to know for quizzes and exams. If you have the option, take Kingsley!
Kingsley is energetic and fun and made learning the Old Testament so interesting. His tests and quizzes are super easy to prep for and he also gives a super clear guidelines for his papers. The only possible way you could fail this course is if you put absolutely zero effort in and miss the lectures.
Prof Kingsley is one of the funniest profs at TMU. His OT1 feels more like an advanced bible study than just another class filled with quizzes and papers. I thoroughly enjoy coming to his lectures, because he makes everyone excited to open up their Bibles and learn about the genius of God. He is truly passionate about what he does. Woohoo Kingsley!
enjoyed the class, learned a lot!!
Dr. Kingsley is an incredible mind. Very intelligent but also knows how to connect with students. He approaches teaching OT in such a unique way, I didn't know I could have so much fun learning stuff I thought was boring. Write down WHAT HE TELLS YOU to write down, you'll get 100% on quizzes. Follow the rules for papers and those will be 100% too.
I have never had more fun going through the Old Testament than in Prof Kingsley's class. His lectures are easy to understand, full of amazing information, and a healthy amount of humor.

Well-organized and always gives clear instructions on exactly how to complete an assignment. He started off the semester with "I'll cradle you in these quarter-Japanese arms" and has done just that.

Prof. Kingsley's class was quite enjoyable. He uses his sense of humour to give illustrations during the lectures that make the concepts and Bible stories more understandable to people from a modern day culture that is very different from the cultures of the Bible. He does not accept any late work whatsoever, but he does give extra credit. Yay!! :)
Dr. Kingsley has a very engaging teaching style and clearly communicates what he wants us to know.

His genuine excitement for teaching the Bible is inspiring, and it has encouraged me to want to know more about the incredible God we serve.
You go through much useful and fun info, it doesn't feel like a semester is enough to go through it all (Genesis to 2 Samuel). helped with Bible reading & study. He has great visuals (his art and notes), storytelling, and a great personality. I honestly wish he taught more than just OT and Hebrew because I would love to take more classes with him.

Best professor ever!! He is kind, funny and straight to the point and is thoughtful with quizes and tests.
Kingsley's Old Testament class is structured exceptionally well. The course is lecture-heavy but Professor Kingsley lectures so as to excite interest from his students.

This professor is an absolute legend. His lectures were super engaging and entertaining.
Kingsley is a fantastic professor. He is very knowledgeable about all that he teaches and is also very passionate about it, which is great because he really cares about communicating all the information well. He also makes the class not super difficult by being clear with what we need to know, which is quite nice for us as students.
He's got the perfect mix of class and humor, all combined into strong intellect in what he teaches. I was very impressed at his simple way of describing context in the Bible, which made me all the more eager to learn because of the way he sets up his class structure. Highly recommend you take him if you can!
I genuinely always enjoyed Dr. Kingsley's lectures for OTS1 because of his clever way of making them relatable, fun, but rich with content at the same time. The assignments or exams were not too hard in general, you just have to review constantly and you'll be fine. He's a fair grader and easy to reach out to.
Very clear teacher and easy to understand, really fun while still learning a lot of things that would not be taught in the average sermon. Well-versed in the material that he teaches and able to explain and answer questions well, along with just a fun guy to talk to in general, highly recommend.
Super fun, I had a great time
He is one of the most amazing professors. So blessed to have had him. He is very diligent and wise and straightforward! would recommend!!

Prof Kingsley is my favorite prof!! He carries you through the class and tells you exactly what you need to know. Gives you plenty of easy ways to get points! Straight forward class and understanding prof
Kingsley is awesome. If you want to take a Hebrew class that increases your love for languages, the Bible, and Pokémon stickers, there is no better class! 10/10 would recommend.
Awesome teacher! It is an easy class yet you learn so much! You learn the Bible, Hebrew, and how to exegete the text with the help of Hebrew. Best class I took at TMU!
Dr. Kingsley is an amazing scholar and Bible teacher. He has inspired in me a deep love of the original languages the Bible was written in. Through Intermediate Hebrew, I'm getting practical experience translating Scripture with the tools I learned in Elementary Hebrew. He makes the class deep and educational, but also down to earth and enjoyable.
