Just think of modern slang, political scandals and complaints, 'in' jokes and the growing distance between well written English and a teen's tweets. The mind boggles. Now, we begin to understand the gulf between understanding another culture, no less another time period. Understanding the 40s and 50s is hard enough-two thousand years is almost ridiculous.

I recently started a blog which explores the connection between dreams and reality and will be adding Course content as the blog develops."  Poem

We're going to be talking about an interesting topic, one that in many ways we've talked about before, but not quite the way we're going to talk about it tonight.
