ok he is helpful, nice but requires a lot of hard work and moves fast.

He is one hard professor...You can do well as long as you keep up with his workload and pay careful attention

Helpful&nice guy-a lot of reading&papers but easy to do if you spit back his viewpoint

He is an amazingly smart man. If you are unwilling to work, don't take him. BUT if you want to learn, he is certainly willing to teach. Take him if you want to work and learn with a very nice man.

This man is brilliant. Truly a scholar. Course requires a heavy workload, but he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. If you don't mind doing some work, it is a great course taught by a highly intellectual and very humorous man.

Nice guy, class work is hard, but you can do fine in the class if u make it a priority...i got an A and worked for it...deserved it and he gave it...hes nice guy to talk to as well

He is one of the nicest professors to get. His work is hard though. If you can write, you can get an A. Be friendly and participate!!!

HE'S THE BEST!

Great class! Very interesting man! Really knows what he's talking about! (Keep in mind that I'm a Theology major, so I'm partial!)

The class is not an easy A but he is a very smart man who knows what he is talking about. if you work hard and read everything it should not be too difficult. I learned so much in this class probably more than any other- i got B+

Really energetic, very nice guy. He really likes participation, the stuff you read tends to be interesting because most of it is easy to understand and short. Tests were easy.

very into what he teaches.

The subject matter is hard but his subject matter has been very intriguing. His tests are essay tests but they are open book because he has even said he has no interest in students just memorizing, he wants u to learn. Very intelligent guy.

If you are a theology major or love theology then take this class, if not then stay away. He really knows his stuff but it is very intense and difficult. Nice guy but the course is tough. Think about how much you really love theology before you take this

really loves wut he does, funny guy when he goes off on a tangent, just papers-no test(trust me its better that way), wears his pants too high, loves karl barth, in the end-i liked the class..it took a while in the beginning but the it grows on you

The man knows his sh*t, so don't even bother to argue.

he is hard yet so passionate about his work that his interest in the subject makes you want to get interested. as long as you take good notes you should be fine. be prepared for the huge workload though. however, if you can get through this, you can get through anything. plus he says baloney a lot.

He is a great professor who explains the subject clearly. If he seems opinionated its because there is truth to what he says. He is an excellent professor.

BEST PROFESSOR! haha, or not... will probably make you hate the subject, but he's clear about what he wants in his papers so just write what he tells you and you'll get an A. if you're looking to just get through your theo requirements and don't actually care, take him. otherwise...not so much...

He makes the class interesting, very enthusuastic about his work, not too hard, although he has his dumb jokes at time. Is rather opinionated but hey. Take good notes, and copy ur notes word for word in ur papers, u can't go wrong.

Amazingggg prof, I love him he dosnt give to much work in my opinion and he is just a great professor. I say definatly take his class

TAKE THIS CLASS!!! If you are interested in theology and like a professor who knows what hes talking about and who is willing to work with you and help you pass if you actually pay attention you will love it! and you will leave the class with all sorts of knowledge on many different topics and terms. I had a great time, he is def my fav professor

Wrote the text himself and there's not much. Not a good approach to introduce religion

Although he has his critics, this class was honestly one of my favorites this semester. He does only believe in what he believes in, but it seems to me that he is 100% correct. You will learn so much from this class and it will cause you to think so much in life. It is a great class and I'm so glad i took it!

Amazing prof, if anyone says somthing bad about him its because they cant handle this sort of material. Writes his own material he teaches from which is great, really knows his stuff, and if you enjoy theology, can keep up with an amazing professor who only asks you to read and listen in class then you will do well If not then take somthing else

you have to take a lot of notes and papers. also you gotta read a lot. but no tests or final. you must agree to everything he believes in. this class is a class hard to fail if you do all your work and be on time to class.

he'sa very understanding professor he gives 1-2pg take home papers wich he counts as quizzes and then he allows you to rewrite it if you didnt like the grade you got.all the exams are open book and all you have to do is agree with him and repeat to him the exact thing he told you in classontheexam..he's very strict on attendance so beearlyigotan A-

I cannot believe the comments here. He is a very funny, very approachable professor. His is very serious about his sbject area but is it definitely more than possible to get an A in his class, I did. It requires taking notes and using it in the papers that we write. I had a fun time in his class b/c it was one of 5 classes i didn't fall asleep in.

Hes a nice guy if your nice. Dont EVER go against him and pretend to believe whatever he believes or else you will die. If your smart, you'll write down everything he says and when its time to write your paper (which is 5-6 pages) just rewrite your notes and your guaranteed an A. No exams no midterms or finals not too bad overall.

Not so bad, participate in class discussions and rewrite ur notes that u take from him or else. There are no tests, just papers 5-6 pgs. He tries to make jokes every now and then. He is pretty reasonable when assigning the dure dates for the papers.

Really nice guy. very fair and understanding, if you dont know something or miss something during the lecture he will stop and clarify it for you ( dont get to dependent on that) you must attend class..all notes r the papers and exams great guy and personality, made me interested in subject when i had no intention of even liking this class

Very nice guy. Kept me very interested in the subject each class. If you go to class listen and take decient notes you sould be fine. He has 3 test all open book and 3 essays right from the notes. He has a nice personality and he knows what he is talking about.

Best Theology Professor i have ever had. He has the best attitude, he puts you in a good mood early in the morning and really knows his stuff. He is very clear on everything and his class was very interesting. Gives 3 open book exams, and take home essays, really easy if you pay attention and take good notes. He uses his own book.

Tough for a core class. I got an A on all the papers, but u really need to work on them. Forget ur own opinon, and write what he believes in. A lot of reading, including his own text. DO NOT EVER TRY TO PROVE HIM WRONG. U will learn a lot in his class though.

Tough class, if you dont show, or if you dont read. Your grade depends on his opinion, so just write down what he says, and regurgitate it in your papers. Not too much work, but you do need to try.

He's challenging but it's not impossible to do well in his class. He knows the material is hard so he EXPECTS questions; so even if you don't know anything just ask him some questions and show that you're at least trying--he'll respect that. If the entire class begs he'll also push back or completely drop quizzes. Take notes and show up to class.

I LOVED THIS CLASS! he uses his own textbook that he wrote!! the class is kinda frustrating because he repeats alot!! READ WHAT URE ASSIGNED!!! if you read what u have to in this class ulle do fine! ask him questions and ulle also do fine!

Class was so easy, take home midterm & final, no tests just written assignments, alot of reading but easy class

He's a total sweetheart, just get on his good side and you are guaranteed an A no matter what garbage you hand in!! He wrote the book himself, so you need to read, but he repeats himself over and over again so you get the hang of it. Agree with him and you'll do well. Try to disagree and he'll hate you and you probably won't do very well.

He's a cutie pie. He's so sweet and amazing. Take him. He's incredible. Easy A. No midterm, no final. Just essays. All these people have it bass ackwards.

Great Professor. He class was interesting and Fun. He is sooo sweet and as long as you hand in work you will pass. He doesnt mind if you disagree with him but as long as you make a valid point. It always help to agree tho lol Loved the class. Just take Home test. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM =)

Molnar's a real nice guy, lectures can drone but he keeps things lively with his explanations. Tests are straightforward and you'll do great if you read the material or listen to him in class at the very least. Get the book because he uses it every class and he lets you use it and your class notes on the tests so make sure you take good notes.

I love him! you do have to go to class and participate but he's a great guy and if you pay attention in class and use that information in the papers youll be well

Took for Jesus in christian faith. Take good notes and participate for a good grade. Test are 20 -30 mc and essay. essays are open book. Mc is very easy and straight forward. lots of reading from his textbook so read to get an A. Agree with views and you will get a good grade. A little bit of effort will get you an A.

Great and Funny teacher! Get him if you are a deep thinker who wants to understand Christianity. His favorite theologian is Karl Barth. Read the books because thats the answers in the essays. Few take long home essays no test. Pay attention in class and don't chat because he will pick on you - trust me. He's an understanding guy. def. take him.

He's not as bad as people say he is. Actually he's an okay professor, but you have to stay awake. At 7:30 in the morning, it is really hard to stay awake in that class. If you can stay awake and take good notes, you'll be fine. If not, well, might want to read ahead or just switch out. No homeworks. Just a few exams. Not hard, just really boring.

You got 3-4 I page papers, 3 5 pg papers and class participation. Go to class. You'll need to take notes bc you gotta write everything he wants to hear in you 5 page essays. Buy Migliore's Faithi seeking Understanding. Molnar's own book Divine Freedom is optional in terms of buying bc it's in the library and you dont use it as much as Migliore. GL!

He is such a sweety! I knew some people that didn't like him, but he's honestly so nice. No tests, just essays. If you write down exactly what was mentioned in class and on the readings you'll get a good grade. Just pay attention and participate and you'll be fine.

he's a really nice guy. participate, and he'll really like you, but you have to say things he agrees with. no tests, just a lot of papers. if you just pack the papers with the stuff he agrees with, you'll get all A's.

His lectures are pretty long, and we never get let out earlier than 5 minutes before class ends, but class did get cancelled twice. I never pay attention in lecture, but he puts his powerpoints up online. They are super helpful in essays!! Use his powerpoints for his papers and you will do good. three 5 page papers and four 1-2 page papers. no test

Pay attention in class, participate, and do all of the required work. I think his class is fair. About every other week, we submit a 1 to 2 page homework assignment based on the readings. So far, we have also submitted two 5 page essays in addition. The questions to write about are what we talk about in class. He is willing to help also.

make sure you take notes in lecture and pay attention to what he says, if you write about that and what he agrees with in your papers and portfolios you will get A's. you might feel overwhelmed if you dont have a christian background but the class is doable! participate and he will love you and dont text/doze off in class he'll call you out for it

Professor Molnar is one of the kindest professors I know. He really helps, although the papers may be hard to attain an A in, you can always resubmit. That's why if you put in the effort you will do well. If you don't understand something JUST ASK, it's your own fault if you do bad, he explains everything very well.

Professor Molnar is extremely passionate about his beliefs and what he teaches, so one will definitely have to be willing to listen and support such beliefs. There is a lot of reading and notes, but as long as you read and listen you'll be fine on the tests. Professor Molnar really does want his students to succeed, so ask for help if you need it.

While you do have to read a lot and write at least a few papers, the material is very straightforward. Prof puts up slides for the class after going over it and it definitely clears things up from his lecture. He's very passionate about his work and tends to ramble, but does care about the success of his students. Would definitely take again!

Be prepared to leave your own opinions outside the door when you walk into this class. Every test and paper is an opportunity for you to simply explain why Professor Molnar is right. However, he is incredibly passionate about his topic, he uses very helpful powerpoints and the class will increase your critical thinking skills.

This was the best theology course I have ever taken

Very good Professor. At first, I was nervous to take his class because of the mixed reviews. However, his class was very straight forward and if you are confused, he will help you with the material. Tells you what should be included on HW, tests, etc. There is a midterm and a final as well as some small 10 question quizzes. Pretty good Professor

Compared to other theology professors he is one of the better ones. Barley gives hw maybe one or 2 assignments. Be prepared to read and participate but it is optional he just likes it.

Dr. Molnar is by far my favorite professor at St. John's. I was really able to connect to the course material and grow. I recommend this class for people with or without a strong background in theology as his lectures allowed even a novice to engage.

People hate Professor Molnar for no reason because they dont want to listen in class and do the simple work that he assigns. All you have to do to get good grades in his class is the bare minimum, aka pay attention in class and answer his assignments exactly how he would. Its really not that hard. Hes a smart guy and youll learn a lot from him.

Overall not bad, His essays are about the material he teaches in class so if you take notes on what he agrees and disagrees with it will be easier to write the essays. He makes himself available through email and office hours and is willing to help you. You have to work hard in this class, he is a very tough grader, and he doesn't accept poor work.

Very passionate about theology and super sweet, if you want to do well in the class participate and he will love you. There are a lot of essays but if you agree with everything he says you will get full credit. Not exactly an easy A, but if you pay attention, participate, and write well you will get an A.

He is very kind and makes a lot of jokes when lecturing. He has slides so in case that you miss something or aren't in class you can look on canvas. He only grades papers which, if you pay attention in class, are very easy and straight to the point.

I genuinely enjoyed Molnar's class because he is a pretty chill dude and tries to connect with his students. If you literally copy and paste what he says in class alongside whats on the slides, then it's a free A on every paper. Also if you participate in class, he will notice you and will be more lenient with stuff especially grades.

Professor Molnar is p chill. You learn to go along with what he says, and you do become a better writer through the process of writing the 5ish papers for the course. Participation matters but he lets you know that you will get a letter grade bump up if u participate. No finals, midterm, or anything tho so just lock in on the papers n presentations
