WARNING - Textbook Change
![Post Post](./styles/GlossyBlack/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I usually buy my textbook before I pay for a class. This allows me to order a book online and allow time for it to arrive before I pay for a class. Then I have everything I need to start a class as soon as I pay for it.
Based on the General Ministries Textbook List, I ordered The New Manners & Customs of Bible Times by Ralph Gower.
I just paid for this class and was looking over the syllabus. I noticed that the page numbers didn't seem to coincide with the book (i.e. the pages to read each day didn't correspond to chapter breaks and the syllabus ends with reading page 249 while the textbook is 335 pages long).
I eventually realized what was wrong. The Class page and Syllabus lists the textbook as The Illustrated Guide To Bible Customs and Curiosities by George W. Knight. So there is a discrepancy between the General Ministries Textbook List and the Syllabus.
There is also another problem. The Illustrated Guide To Bible Customs and Curiosities appears to be out of print.
You can't buy it directly from either Amazon or Barnes & Noble, however you can purchase a used copy from an Amazon Merchant or the Barnes & Noble Marketplace.
I don't know for sure which book the final exam for this class is based on. I'm going to email and find out. I'll reply to this post with whatever I find out.
