EXEGESIS RESEARCH PAPER: MEANING OF THE PASSAGE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

The Meaning portion of the paper will run between 4-5 pages double-spaced in 12 point Times

New Roman font type. You will re-write the Context section as needed, taking into consideration

any feedback provided by the professor in your paper or on the grading rubric.

INSTRUCTIONS

In the Meaning portion of the paper, you are analyzing and exegeting the text verse-by-verse

utilizing the commentaries and journal articles listed in your Bibliography. I should see a

significant number of footnotes in this section as you interact with and engage with comments

and observations of commentators and journal article authors. Pay attention to the text! Your

interpretation of the text should be based in the text not imposed upon the text from some

external source. The sources you use to assist you in your study of the text must be current (1950

to the present) and scholarly (written by academics with credentials that qualify them to write not

popular treatments written for laity) using those found in the ATLA database as a guide. For

example, J. Vernon McGee, although an outstanding popular Bible teacher in his day, is not a

scholarly source.

Be sure to rely on the required hermeneutics text by Kaiser and Silva for guidance about how to

do basic exegesis and interpretation of a biblical text and to utilize Ecologies of Faith in a

Digital Age in analyzing your text from a spiritual formation perspective.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
