- Directions
-
- Your education committee in the parish has asked you to design
a session for adults (or another age group, if you prefer), on
an aspect of the Old Testament. Perhaps it is the attitudes towards
covenant, or war, or peace, or love. Your final paper for this
class will be the outline of the session you will present. It
should include introductory and concluding elements as you would
incorporate them (such as specific prayers), but the core of it
will be the material you present. Remember that you are teaching
people whose only knowledge of the Bible may be what they have
gained from Sunday readings in church. Teach them three things:
1) the historical background of the text; 2) the literary
shape and themes of the text; and 3) your theological reflection
on the history and themes. A few successful sample papers (and
a copy of these directions) are available from the "Final
Assignment" tab to the left.
-
- Please submit this assigment on 2-3 sheets of paper, typed and double-spaced, with 1-inch margins at top and bottom and 1.25-inch margins on the sides.

- Sample Papers
-
- The following papers were written by ILM students in the Fall
of 2001 and 2002. Each of the students has given permission for
their paper to be posted here as a reference to you (you may want
to thank them if you see them!). They are not identical, indicating
the latitude you have in writing this assignment.
