I'm curious how courses like these work. If I buy the course, am I then obligated to buy books that are required reading that go with it, or is this course self-contained? Also, how does this differ from the audio-only version? Since that one is less than half the price, I'm inclined to go with that if it doesn't require me to purchase any additional materials.

This looks like a good course. I just wish that it would have been taught by someone who is NOT Reformed. To me it calls someone'e entire theology into question. If they can be so wrong about the fundamental ideals of salvation - like total depravity (which they errantly interpret as total inability) and unconditional election (where they teach that God would either 1) passover people thus denying them the opportunity for salvation or 2) actually intentionally predestine them to an eternality in hell), then how can we really trust that they can interpret the entirely of Scripture, to include the Parables here, with exegetical integrity and without more fatal errors stemming from theological biases. I think in areas of discipleship we'd be fine with this instructor, but when examining the parables related to salvific ideals, the tendency to take a wrong turn in Albuquerque and allow the fatal errors of Calvinism to taint the fundamental teachings of the parables is simply too entirely possible. I think I'll buy this course, but I am curious how faithful to Scripture he can be leading a Reformed seminary.
