Rhetoric 309K

Another reason why my Rhetoric class on the Gospels and the Historical Jesus is my favorite class this semester.

Email from my professor at 11:30pm, Sunday evening:

I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend

On Wednesday night, we'll be watching the second (and final) video of
the semester, a film version of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice,"
which offers a meditation on the relationship of Christians and Jews,
of law and love, of faith and action. It's an extraordinary play --
and a thought-provoking movie.

In lieu of candy and fruit, we'll have pizza and drink, so please
come with an appetite -- and come on time (it's important we start
the film as soon as possible).

In the next day or two, please send me the following:

(1) how many pieces of Double Dave's pizza you'll eat (from a "large"
pizza) ... no need to be shy.
(2) what's your favorite topping (if any ... understand that I won't
be able to get you a strange topping like anchovies ... think more
common toppings). Let me know by Tuesday evening (I'll send a
reminder on Tuesday afternoon) so I have a good sense of how many
pizzas to get.

Thanks. See you Wednesday.
