“Pastor, Paul as”
“Principalities and Powers”
“Old Testament in Paul”
“Legal System, Roman”
“Coworkers, Paul and his”
“Households and Household Codes”
And select ONE of the prompt questions below:
What is the specific issue that Paul addresses in Rome (chs. 14-15)? Be sure to include specific biblical references from different sections of Paul’s theological instruction in chapters 1-13 which support your understanding of the key issue of the letter.
Pick a single issue that Paul addresses in the Corinthian letters. Explain the problem by bringing out the first-century context within the passage, and then discuss Paul’s principle in addressing the issue.
Explain the theological relevance between “covenant,” “cross,” and “communion” (see ch. 7 in PTC).
(1) Select and read ONE of the assigned articles above from DPL’s Dictionary of Paul and His Letters. In two developed paragraphs (minimum of 250 words), present to the class the key truths and principles that you believe are most interesting or most helpful for the class to learn from the article that you read (so that we can learn collectively). At the end of these paragraphs, cite the article as a bibliographic entry (“article/chapter in an edited book”). No need for footnotes or references in this section.
(2) Choose and answer ONE of the prompt questions above based on your reading (cite your textbook or outside sources). Write at least two developed, cohesive paragraphs and incorporate specific detail, 3rd person, and support (minimum of 250 words). Cite your source(s) each time they are used. Include at least three scholarly sources (textbooks and/or outside scholarly sources). See the rubric requirements for grading guidelines.
For Replies, respond to two other students’ posts (100 word minimum each). EITHER read over the article the student wrote about and add insight or information which would help the class learn more specifically about the subject, OR respond to the student’s answer to the prompt question he or she selected (students do not have to agree with each other; avoid posts that only praise the author). Aim to add substantively to the discussion.
