Write an 8 – 10-page biblical interpretation paper with Psalm 2 as your text. In the paper, you should work through Psalm 2 using the three hermeneutical processes (preparation, investigation, application) that are discussed and espoused in the course videos and textbook. For preparation, you should consider how your background, upbringing, present community, gifts, experiences, predispositions, sanctification, strengths, weaknesses, sins, etc. influence your interpretation of Psalm 2 in both good and bad ways (please note – your section on preparation should be one page or less of your total paper). For investigation, you should focus on the original meaning of Psalm 2 in light of the writer, document (text of Psalm 2), and original audience. You should also consider how other places in Scripture elaborate on and apply Psalm 2 in various ways. In your paper and for this hermeneutical process of investigation, you should consult and cite eight secondary sources (including but not limited to commentaries on Psalms, books on the psalms, books on the Old Testament, journal articles [the ATLA database can be accessed through the Belhaven library website] (online sources are not allowed). For application, you should consider the meaning of Psalm 2 for believers and the church today. How can believers apply Psalm 2 to their lives? How could you preach and teach Psalm 2? How might God use Psalm 2 among those to whom you minister?
Requirements: Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spaced, Chicago or Turabian format with footnotes, 8-10 pages; minimum of 8 secondary sources (no online sources); please provide a cover page and a Bibliography page – these are not included for the required number of pages
