Disappointing
I did not register for the course or read the assigned material.
Knowing that this course was taught by Dr. Peterson, I had very high expectations for this course. Unfortunately, those expectations were not realized.
I suppose that the reason for my disappointment is that Dr. Peterson never really addressed the subject topic directly. There were several guest speakers from ministries to persons with disabilities (the highlight of the course to me). Dr. Peterson spent a lot of the course covering general and fundamental topics, sort of a synopsis of systematic theology. All this is good and welcomed. However, Dr. Peterson never personally directly addressed what a Christian should do for persons with disabilities, what a church should do for persons with disabilities, and what the church (in the broadest sense) should do for persons with disabilities.
This is a vital subject taught by an excellent professor at an excellent seminary. I hope they try again.
