In 2006 began attending New Orleans Baptist Seminary to study theology. But while I was there I signed up for a class called Metaphysics* that was taught by Jeremy Evans. At the time, I didn't know what metaphysics even was. The first day of class, Jeremy asked everyone what they think of metaphysics and what they hope to learn in the class. I had to admit that I had no idea. So why did I sign up for a class, not knowing what it was even about?
All I can say is Providence. Anyway, Jeremy was an excellent teacher. I took several more philosophy classes with him. He always made time to talk to those of us interested in philosophy outside of class. We even had a Plato reading group with him and a couple of other students. He was very generous, even though we were clueless. Jeremy was a big influence on me and my desire to study philosophy. He encouraged me and wrote a letter of recommendation that helped me get into the MA program in philosophy at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. For that, I am thankful. *Note: Metaphysics is not what you normally see in the "metaphysics" section at the bookstore. It is the study of the ultimate nature of reality. You can read more here.
