Case: Now that you have completed your two-part creative timeline of the Old Testament and read The Drama of Scripture, write a 6-page synthesis paper about how the story of the OT is important for the Christian today. Focus on the grand narrative of the Old Testament and how it applies to your life. How does it all fit together and tell ONE important message?
Finish the following thesis abstract by filling in the blank with a concise summary of what you think the central message of the OT is. There is no perfect answer; it is up to you! This must be in your introductory paragraph.
This paper will demonstrate and apply the message of the OT, that _________(the OT is about...), by examining OT themes.
Support your thesis by drawing from OT theological themes such as covenant, sin, redemption/salvation, law, faith, grace, divine love, election, etc., instead of just using specific Bible passages. Draw from the lessons you have learned from the Bartholomew and Goheen reading.
Spend at least a third of your paper (2 pages) specifically describing how the OT message applies to your life. Applications should be specific by addressing questions like when, how long, and what is being measured or assessed.
