Once you make this choice, you will work on this passage for each of the remaining modules of the course. Your final paper will be based on this selected passage.Using scholarly resources from the Olivet library, such as theNew Interpreter’s Bible (NIB) commentary, explain the background of the book that the passage is in by answering each of the following questions:What is the genre of the book and of the specific passage (they may be different)?Who was the author of the book? Are there different traditions or opinions about who wrote the book?When was the book believed to have been written?What do we know about the historical, social, cultural, and political context in which the book or passage was written?Answer the questions in-depth and in a narrative format.Explain the different views or traditions around each topic.Cite sources to support your statements. Again, the NIB is highly recommended for your research.Write about the implications to your answers to the questions. Consider how your answers impact the way you could or should interpret this passage. For instance, a passage of poetry or a parable should probably not be interpreted literally. If Paul was believed to be the author of a passage, should this passage be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the rest of Paul’s teachings? Reference scholarly sources in your responses.This is basically a research-type paper.Use only scholarly resources for any assignment in this course. Your paper should follow APA formatting and should have a word count of 500-750 words.
