Testament book. The ability to engage with the historical, literary, and

biblical studies. Developing these skills through research and writing is a
time-tested means toward becoming a more competent reader and interpreter of Scripture.
The content essay assignment probes challenging issues by answering the
interpretive questions that rise from the text of Scripture.
