 COURSE SYLLABUS: Introduction to Philosophy (PHL 101)

I do not know what I may appear to the world;

but to myself I seem to have been only a boy

playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself

in now and then finding a smoother pebble or

a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great

ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

-- Sir Isaac Newton, Memoirs of Newton

Career

Since June, 1987 I have been the pastor of Plattsmouth Baptist Church in Plattsmouth,

my privilege to pastor a church that values learning and is not afraid to consider new

ideas. Moreover, my experience as an instructor at Metro Community College fulfills my

long-standing desire to teach on the college level. It has been my joy to be associated

with Metro since March, 1995.
