Winter 2024 - Honestly if you arent that interested in this topic I wouldn't take it. Can be very confusing without some prior knowledge of the Bible. It is a history class after all though, so you cant think about the class biblically. The lectures can be interesting but also quite annoying since it felt like 80% of the class was him answering students' questions that were not relevant to the midterm/ final. I would suggest doing a class study guide with everyone that's what helped me pass. ATTEND EVERY CLASS get any points you can just in case you don't do well on an exam it helps.

Spring 2024 - Professor Joseph is fantastic. He answers more questions in class than anyone I have ever met. The readings for this class were long but nothing out of the ordinary for an upper-division history course. Prof. Joseph can be a little socially awkward and is very sensitive to phone use during class but is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend any class he teaches!
