Homework: Exegetical Paper

Overview

The Exegetical Paper: Homework is important for applying what you have learned about hermeneutics to a specific passage. In this paper you will interpret a particular passage using the method learned in this class and apply to some degree all five steps of the Interpretive Journey. This homework will provide an opportunity for you to evaluate a particular passage while also comparing your interpretation to those of scholars. This homework will provide an opportunity to formulate your own thoughts on your passage while also providing a practical application. You will need these skills as you attempt to interpret Scripture and explain it to others.
