I have also been a pastor or director at four large churches. In those ministry positions, I routinely taught the Bible to church members. And, when I have preached, I have necessarily studied scripture in preparation for those sermons.

I have been a student of the Classics for most of my life. From my background in the theatre, undergraduate degree in Foreign Service, Master of Divinty from seminary, and my own personal interests and reading, I have developed a strong background in the Classics.

I have also read the Bible multiple times and biographies and plays on Alexander the Great, Julius Ceasar, Mark Antony & Cleopatra. I am broadly and generally familiar with classical Greece, Rome, Macedonia, Sparta, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Israel, and Egypt. In college, I took a course on Ancient Religions of the Near East in which I studied about the religions of Sumer, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Akkad and others. In seminary, along with studying the classical Greek and Hebrew languages and the Bible, I learned more about the religions, culture and geography of the Middle East during the classical period.

I have also been a pastor with two large Christian churches. As to the major world religions, I am also well qualified to assist you with either a survey course of the major religions OR one that focuses on some of those religions. For my undergraduate degree, I took a course in Religions of the Near East, which included study of Judaism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. In seminary, I took courses that included materials on Buddhism, Hinduism, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Much of my study has focused on China and Japan.

SUSAN M., 9 lessons with Ed

Immensely Helpful and Friendly

Rusty brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, but he's also a very good communicator. What struck me was how easy it was to talk to him right off the bat. I found it easy to ask questions so that the lesson went at a pace comfortable for me, and he was very responsive to all of my concerns. He also put in the extra time to prepare for our session with outside research and it showed. He was clearly invested in my success and that's the kind of tutor we all deserve!

He gave me helpful tips and resources on how I can improve the skills that I lacked on and how I can be better at the subject I had trouble with. His session was helpful and I learned a lot.
