Primary Source Handout

Q Over the course of the semester we will be reading and evaluating a number of primary sources relevant to the foundation of the Abrahamic religions. As part of this exploration each student will sign up to for one of these primary sources to share with the class. Handouts are due at the beginning of the week for which they are assigned and will be posted publicly on ILearn as a study tool. The handout should provide a summary of the text including the approximate date, author (if known), a summary of the text and a description of the significance. A detailed rubric for the grading of this assignment, as well as a sample handout are available on the course website.
