These response papers will combine information from class lecture and readings with your own opinions on important or difficult topics.

Successful papers will be clearly organized and structured with a thesis, supporting arguments, and a conclusion. Note that the prompts are a starting point to help you formulate your response. Do not merely provide short, wooden answers to the questions provided, but instead use them to guide your thought process as you prepare these papers. An ideal paper will paper both formulate a thesis as well as critique or evaluate other potential interpretations. Each paper is worth 5% of your grade (50 points each). To appropriately cover these topics each paper should be a minimum of 2 pages. Prompt for Response Paper 2 (pick 1) 1) Define the historical-critical methodology.

Genesis 12-17 (life of Abraham) The historical-critical methodology is a way of interpreting biblical passages by considering the cultural and contextual settings of the time in which the biblical passages might have been written. The cultural and contextual settings of the time of writing of the biblical passages cannot be compared at all with the cultural and contextual settings of the modern times. Therefore, the interpretation of biblical passages must be done by initially understanding the ancient living conditions, cultural traditions, behavioral patterns, and religious concepts. The goal of historical-critical methodology is to ensure that there can be the original meaning of the passage found out (Lecture 12 - Abraham). This is because the original meaning of a biblical passage cannot be understood by considering the modern context of human life and religion. There has to accurate interpretation of the original context of history in which the biblical passage had been written. The purpose of historical-critical methodology is to ensure that there can be identification of the situation in which the author had written the biblical passage (Lecture 12 - Abraham). Moreover, the purpose of historical-critical methodology is to ensure that every recipient of a biblical passage can be identified from the identified original historical context (Lecture 12 - Abraham). The historical-critical methodology provides insights about diversified historical elements in details with validity.
