Summarize: Determine the author's main point. In 1-2 paragraphs (200-400 words) explain what you think the author is trying to communicate in this passage. Remember two things. First, the focus of this summary is theological and not narrative. In other words, your summary should highlight what this passage communicates about who God is and what God is doing. Second, words like "I," "We," "Us," and "Our" are application words and not interpretation words. Thus, they should not be used in your answer for this question. Interpretation is about "then and there" and not "here and now." We were not there so the passage is not about us. Our "part" in the passage is the application or how we will respond to God's Word.

B. Identify: Based on your answer above, write out one principle from this passage. What is the one thing the whole thing is saying? You should be able to express this principle in 1-

3 sentences. As with the previous answer, this principle should be theological and rooted in who God is and/or what God is doing. Please remember that words like "I," "We," "Us," and "Our" are application words and not interpretation words.

C. Check: Consult at least one scholarly resource to offer support for the theological principle that you believe the passage is teaching. In 1-2 paragraphs (200-400 words), quote, properly cite, and interact with this scholarly resource to demonstrate that it supports your theological and interpretive conclusion. You must consult the "Commentaries" and the "Bible Dictionaries & Handbooks" tab found on the research guide provided by the Jerry Falwell Library to access the approved academic and scholarly resources. These resources are the only approved resources. Using unapproved resources may result in a score of "0" for this assignment.
