Assignment:

Consider how important your own personal background is to your worldview. Your upbringing, social context, experiences, and environment all combine to shape your unique perspective. Just like we all have a background that affects how we communicate, so too does the OT have a historical context that affects how it is interpreted. Based on your reading and the lectures in Session 1, what do you see as the most important contextual issues that affect how we read the Old Testiment?
