Writing is mentioned in 23 books of the Bible

God's laws were written--the Ten Commandments

Ecclesiastes suggests that "what he [the teacher] wrote was upright and true." 12:8-12

The advent of the printing press gave all people textual access to the Word of God.

Martin Luther's 95 written theses dramatically changed Christianity.

How can your writing impart God's word?

ASC Handouts

The articles on the ASC website have been created for seminary students and
their particular concerns. The site can also be a useful tool for faculty
when designing syllabi by using all or parts of articles to explain
assignments. Additionally, faculty might want to refer students to the
Online Writing Lab as a resource. The site is continually being updated
so visit us often for new additions to our site.
