Based on your research, what are some insights that biblical criticism provides into the meaning or significance of this passage?

In this paper, you will further explore the discipline of biblical criticism introduced in our class. For this paper, you will write on a scripture passage chosen from a list provided by the instructor.

You will be assigned a passage through a sign up process (Links to an external site.) which will take into account student preferences.

The purpose of the paper is for you to research and then report on scholarly views on your scriptural passage.

Your paper should answer the following questions about your scriptural passage:

Origins: As far as we know, who was the author of this text?

When was it written? For what purpose was it written, and what do we know about the social situation the author was writing in?

Sources: As far as we know, did this passage originate from sources older than the present book in which it is found?

What do we know about the editing process that led this passage to be included in the book in which it is found, in the place where it is found?
Insights:

Based on your research, what are some insights that biblical criticism provides into the meaning or significance of this passage?

These insights can be gained from the close study of the words of the passage, a study of its form or genre, research into the social and historical context of the passage, etc. (This section should take up the majority of the paper)
For your research, you should draw on some of the scholarly yet accessible resources available in our library.

You should draw on at least three Bible commentaries available as e-books in our library catalog. More information on these commentaries is provided in a separate file download.

As you use these resources, keep in mind that you will need to look for both general information on the book in which your passage is found (for example, Exodus or Luke) as well as for more specific information on your specific passage.

Most commentaries will include general information on a book at the beginning of the essay and then analyze the book chapter by chapter.

Also keep in mind that some of these resources might not cover your passage exactly, so you may have to look at multiple sections to find the information you need.

You can watch a tutorial video downloadon how to do the research for your paper.

Your paper should be between 3 and 5 pages in length, 12 points in a standard font, double-spaced.

Your paper should have an introduction describing the relevance of your topic and a thesis statement summarizing the whole of your argument.

Each paragraph should have a topic sentence that summarizes what the paragraph is about, and the paragraph should center on that topic.

The paragraphs of your paper should follow a logical order. You will be graded on these elements, as well as on spelling and grammar.

You are also expected to use parenthetical notes for any quotations or other references that you use, and have a works cited page. You should follow the MLA style of citations. Examples for the parenthetical citations and works cited page are listed below.

This short paper, like all assignments in this class, is meant to evaluate your progress in achieving certain goals of the class.

The relevant goals are to recognize the major questions and methods of theology, to acquire the skills necessary to critically read and interpret the Christian scriptures, and to develop one’s own writing and critical reasoning skills.

Therefore these form the basis for how your paper will be evaluated, as described in the

What do other studies say about the concept of degrees of separation? Are the results from other studies similar and, if so, what does that tell us about the concept the text refers to as it being a “small world?” What encounters have you had regarding degrees of separation?

Remember how the discussion assignments work.

You need to respond to one discussion question with an essay of 400-600 words with at least two references. This is due by 11:59 pm (Central Time) on Thursday. By Sunday, you need to submit two responses of at least 75 words to people who, ideally, answered questions other than the one you answered.

Include the question you are answering at the beginning of the posting. If you notice that several people have answered a particular question, try to answer a different one.

The more different discussion topics we have, the better.

Here are the questions for Week Six:

1. Do opposites attract? After reading the chapter and researching this topic, what did you find about this question?

2. There is a research supported belief there is a small degree of separation between us and others. For example, a study of text communications (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/01/AR2008080103718.html?hpid=topnews) of 180 million people worldwide “concluded that any two people on average are distanced by just 6.6 degrees of separation, meaning that they could be linked by a string of seven or fewer acquaintances.”

What do other studies say about the concept of degrees of separation? Are the results from other studies similar and, if so, what does that tell us about the concept the text refers to as it being a “small world?” What encounters have you had regarding degrees of separation? For example, many years ago my wife and went to Disney World.

At a random restaurant a patron approached me and asked about the college logo on my shirt. Turns out, he attended the same undergraduate institution and knew several of the same professors.

3. What is the proximity effect? How does this concept play into establishing friendships and relationships?

4. Pick a theory of attraction and define the basic premises of the theory. How does this theory explain attraction? Does the theory take into account other possible methods of developing attraction or is it exclusive? What are the strengths and limitations of this theory?

5. Is there such a thing as a completely unselfish behavior? Explain you position with research.
